Every time he smiles I smile
Every time he cries I cry
I know him as I know my heart
He's learning how I work
My faults & thoughts & actions
He's learning what keeps me
From sleeping at night
But oh, my darling
I am also learning about your eyes
And how you might bid your family goodbye
I am also learning how restless you are at 2am
Or how you need several cups of coffee to keep you awake throughout the day
Please, I did not come to rush
I also did not come to leave
I will learn every piece of you
And you will learn every piece of me
Slowly
Please, do not need me for anything
It is not that I cannot support you
It is just that I do not want you to drown
And depend on hands to take you out
I'll be there instead to teach you how to swim
And kiss farewell to the salt left on your lips
Be with me
But do not need me, to Be
I was made to be whole with you
And not a half
