I never knew I loved you this much...

I never knew I loved crystals so much

until I saw the light catch deep within them

far into the recesses of their infinite formations

and sunsets with you…

sitting side by side, holding hands, licking softserve

watching the sun sink its head below the horizon,

which reminds me of dad

who will die one day leaving everything behind

I never knew I loved him so much

He always said: you’ll only know how much when you have your own children…

and now, I do. Deep within my womb, it’s you.

Warm, soft and totally dependent on me.

I can’t see my life without you

I never knew I loved you this much.
