Limbo

9 months, 2 weeks, 3 days
You didn't exist, yet I knew you
I couldn't hug or touch you
Yet I held you for almost a year
Having never met you, I loved you utterly
I never heard your voice
But I heard you say I love you every day
While you were in limbo
Waiting to exist
Did you hear my hopes
My dreams?
My plans for our life?
Did you hear me say I love you?
Did you hear me cry
Because I worried that I wouldn't be good enough for you?
Did you hear me laugh
When you tickled my heart with your dreams of life?
You felt my anger, my joy, my sorrow, my pleasure
For 9 months, 2 weeks, 3 days
You knew me intimately
And I only knew my dreams of you
Now that your here, my love
You've exceeded my wildest expectations

I just hope I live up to yours.



For my daughter
