Sometimes

I think of you

As a parent thinks of their child.

But you wouldn't like that, would you?

For even though

I grew up as you did,

You became the most important

Person.

Friend.

Ally.

Lover.

Sometimes

The past grips my heart

And makes me think about

What I would do if

You had disappeared back then.

If you had fallen into another's hands

And come to love them

As you love me now.

Sometimes

I wonder if you truly love me.

But then I realize

That to you,
I was always the most important.

And even though we're grown up now

And separate people,

You still look at me

With admiration.

With pride.

With love.
