Legacy

Since our first dance I was intrigued :

Your strong body marred by that scar,

Your stubborn silence, your rude rejection.

But I saw much more and was not mistaken.

Your eyes, that some say harsh, looked mysterious to me.

Hiding behind your boredom, I knew you were curious,

About me. But only later did I find out.

When you confessed, shortly before you left.

Of the two of us, you are the one with neither ties nor past

And yet, I am the one struggling

To find my place, my house, my home.

Our families don't matter, for we shall have one, ours.

We have no roots but will grow our own.

I belong to you and our unborn child.
