Still, the bed laid untouched the way you left it that crisp, fall morning.

Introductions were never my strong suit,

Losing every ounce of love I once felt; faded away the day you left.

Eager to get home, you left work that day in quite a hurry.

News of pregnancy; you already couldn't help but call yourself dad.

Considering the aftermath of everything that happened, little

Emma Rose has now met you, her finger wrapped around yours.
