“take me back to the night we met…”
the night our whole world changed.
when we were learning you
and learning each other
as parents, too.
the hospital room was dim,
the monitors softly beeping,
the swaddle blankets wrapped around you,
and time somehow moving
so fast and so slow all at once.
late night feeds,
sleepy cuddles,
your daddy beside us
sometimes awake helping,
sometimes asleep after long hours,
but always there.
before the routines,
before the milestones,
before the world knew your name
it was just our little family
in that hospital room,
listening to the monitors,
staring at you in disbelief,
trying to understand
how something so tiny
could hold our entire hearts.
and some nights
i still wish i could go back…
to the night we met.
