Growing
I stood hopelessly in the big, empty space,
Picking up the abandoned bits of toys that had been lying there collecting dust for years.
The dents in the carpet are the only lingering sign that you were once here.
Still unclear on what had just happened.
Why was there no warning?
How did you change in an instant?
How did I miss it?
Yesterday, like we always do, I lay next to you holding your hand,
And the moment you fell asleep I rushed off to relish my freedom.
Not knowing it was your last night in our room.
Not knowing it was the last time you needed me to hold your hand to sleep.
Had I known I would’ve held on a little longer.
I would’ve traced each little finger of yours with mine.
I would have savoured how small you still felt in my hand.
It was my mistake for forgetting.
Forgetting that you are evolving on the inside.
Just as much as I see you growing on the outside.
And now, as I lie in a restless slumber,
Once again paralysed by the constant, bittersweet nature of motherhood,
Still feeling the echo of your energy in our room,
Confused between my new freedom and longing for you to come back,
I can’t help but be excited for you.
There is so much coming your way.
And as for me,
I’m learning to sit on the sidelines.
But I don’t think I’ll ever stop waiting,
Always hoping and secretly longing
That you’ll ask me to hold your hand again.
Because to me you’ll always be,
Forever my baby.
