A Million Times

A million times
I held you in my arms and caressed you.
Took you to the park and played with you.
Swam in the pool with you
And danced to good music with you

A million times
We cooked and ate delicious meals
Together
Giggling
In our birthday clothes

A million times
I tickled your ears with pleasant jokes
Whilst assuring you of how much I loved you
As we planned our lives together
And built a happy family

A million moments of pure fantasy
I spent wishing all these were real
Yet, life got in the way each time
Compelling me to stop just short
Before I let out.
