Hello again, it's been so long since I was able to see your face. But I see a part of you every day when I look at Aurora. That's right, I never told you about her did I? You left so quickly, that I never got the chance. She's gotten so big, almost four years old. Smiling at me while playing with a small blue ball, I'll never get use to the word 'Momma'. She doesn't even know she has a father, I've never told her about you.

She's three feet tall and too sweet for anyone who knew you well to assume she was your daughter. But she looks just like you, the same pale, fair feathers of the man I fell in love with. Whenever she looks at me I have to turn away, or I'll see you staring back at me. She has your eyes, the same beautiful eyes I was so powerless against almost five years ago. Why did you have to leave? You were so angry at me for falling in love with you, but who wouldn't? I finally told you how I felt, and the next morning you were gone, running again. You were always running from your past, but this time you were running from me. You left before I could tell you about the child. If I had told you sooner, would you have stayed?

Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter now, there's no since in "What ifs." You can't change the past now.

I can't stay any longer, I hear Aurora calling for me, "Momma, come play with me." I just hope she will be able to know about you someday.
