You were born in my heart
A long time ago
I’ll say
I thought about you all the time
I imagined you here
I imagined all of your faces
And all the ways you could have been
I imagined you as a boy
and as a girl
I imagined you coming from me once
I imagined you growing in a love of mine
I imagined you in a hospital
In a hut
Outside
I imagined you crying
And laughing
And smiling
And wondering
Your soul connected to mine
Before we had bodies
Before there was a when
Or a where
Or a how
And I always knew
That when the day was right
When we were ready
That it would be time
Time for that love
Born in my heart
Long ago
To grow bigger than anything I could ever imagine.
