Yester Years

The days when you thought I was
incredible, perfect, amazing, and beautiful. 
Oh the days when you looked at me with adoration

Your sweet little love notes left my heart singing with happiness

Are long gone.

Did I appreciate the fullness of your love?

Probably, not.

Did I think you would always be the same?

Probably, so.

And now you are grown.  

Now you know I am ordinary. 

Now you know I am flawed. 

Now you know I am human. 

Gone are the days that you longed to express your love through little notes, long snuggles, hugs that lasted to long and sloppy kisses.

Grown you are and love me still…though different than yester years.

Oh, how I long for those moments, how I would cherish them more completely, taking each one as a special gift, meant only for me, lasting a lifetime.
