Yesterday
Yesterday my girlfriend told me she was pregnant
At first I was kinda happy
Kids are great, right?
I always liked them
Today
Today I'm not so sure anymore
I'm sitting in my office
Staring at the screen
Not doing ****
Thinking about things
Waiting for a feeling
Panic. Anger. Disbelief.
Like a patient in a hospital after a routine check
Knowing that something's not right
Waiting for the doctor to talk about terminal cancer
Or Worse!
But nothing happens
I'm calm like a newborn
The more I think about it
The more I smile
And suddenly everything makes sense
Tomorrow
Tomorrow I will be a dad
I will take good care of him or her.
Teach him or her everything I know
Everything he or she needs to know about everything
Be there for him or her from the very beginning
I will be a good dad.
And I will love that child
As if it were my own.
