Almost Thirteen

 

ever since he was a baby

every time I see him

I tell him I love him

and he always replied  

“I love you more”

but he’s almost thirteen now

and he doesn’t reply anymore

pretending he didn’t hear me

or looking away awkwardly

but once in a while

he’ll respond with a little nod

and I’ll take it

because I’m not going to stop

telling him I love him

because he’s almost thirteen now

and he just might need to hear it

even more than I need to say it

  1. A really important reminder for all. Everyone needs to hear the words, sometimes more than we can ever realize. Never, ever, ever stop saying them.
