Remembrance

When I first met Regina, I hated her.
Isn't that always the way?
I saw her as a threat, someone who was trying to hurt my son.
My son? Her son?
As the weeks went by, I grew to know her.
But did I really?
I knew she liked white chocolate brownies over dark ones. I knew she took her coffee black.
Others would say it matched her soul
Even when she had appeared to have lost everything
Although she could never lose me
She still remained strong, willing to sacrifice herself for us
But I wouldn't let her
When Henry was taken, she help search
Our son?
When he was recovered, she rejoiced. Tried to make an effort to make peace with his new family
Did I make that easier?
And when she had to send us away
It hurt me just as much
She had to make us forget to save us
I don't want to forget
Even though I shall never remember, a part of me will never forget.
