A/N Okay, so I thought about how I was going to do these, and I thought free-verse was probably the best way to tell the story. Honestly, me trying to sound deep isn't that great. Sorry if it's a little OOC, but I tried my best to make it sound meaningful. I might re-edit it, but for now I think it's okay. Feedback is encouraged.
I have to be honest,
this was the best summer
of my life. I'll never
forget the smell of
the salty ocean or the
feel of sand in between
my toes or
the old cabin by the sea
or sunrises that were blindingly
beautiful or the
trident glowing on the floor, but
one thing's for sure, I will never
forget spending that
summer with you.
I don't regret
meeting you,
being with you,
loving you.
All I can say to you is
thank you.
Thank you for giving me
your love and kindness and
for holding me. Thank you
for giving me another reason
to live with a smile. Thank
you for telling me I'm not alone.
And most of all, thank you for
giving me a son.
A boy, who I'll love with all
my heart and with the love of
a father who
couldn't be there to
support or raise him.
I don't know
if you'll come back or if
I'll see you ever again or
if I should've met you, but
I know for a fact that you
loved me like I loved
you, and I know that he will
be the best son I'll ever have but
I only have one last
request as you go.
Please,
protect him. Let him know
that his father isn't just
another careless god who
leaves his child to be
killed. I want him
to know who
his father was and who
he himself will be. I don't
care if you forget who
I am or if you never want
to see me again or even
that you send me down to
Death itself, as long as
you let me know he'll be
safe and protected by
his father. As long as you can
promise me that.
