December 2, 2002 - Baby Love
I want so much to tell you what it's like, especially if you have never had a child yourself. But don't worry - you know anyhow. We all of us know, because it's so like falling in love, and I hope to heaven that anyone who reads this has fallen in love at least once or twice. When you're falling in love - the long, heady fall of those first early days - you see the face of your love before you even when you sleep. And you strain your ears for the sound of your love's voice, and you count the minutes until you'll be together again. You watch the face of your love as she sleeps, breathing every breath with her, memorizing the lines of her face. All of the songs on the radio remind you of her (especially - in my case - when you suddenly notice that they all seem to have the word "baby" in them). You're in love and you'd do anything to be with her, anything to be the one who puts the smile on her face. This, as best as I can tell you, is what it's like. Every time she wakes up and looks at me, falling in love again, harder and deeper and truer than the time before. |
