We just met but I enjoyed your company
You were with child and you seemed just a little wild
We spoke only a few times, but I enjoyed those times
You seemed happy and ecstatic; I wonder if it was just automatic
That you wanted to exit never occurred to me, I guess you wanted to be set free
It’s hard to see any light when you’ve made a mistake; you couldn’t wait for daybreak
Was the pain too much to bear, couldn’t you find someone who cared?
Did you suffer in the last moments, did regret this too?
Now you’re gone and your child is too, what if you had it to redo?
Would you return and live the life you were meant to have?
Would our conversations grow old together, would we be strong against the weather?
Would your glowing countenance be true, your precious moments not just a few?
I wonder about the life your child would have had,
Would your child be like you, would she share your world view?
For a memory of the old times, you now live in these rhymes.
