He’s starring at me
He loves me
I recognize him
I know I’ve failed him
Tears rolling down my face
“I’m sorry”
“I let you down”
He’s closer now
I’m now kneeling
He touches my face
His hand small and soft
Cleaning my tears he says
“I love you”
He disappears
Once again I’m a child
Once again I’m alone
But my words linger
My own words whispering
“I love you”
