Can I be your mystery girl?
Aloof and unpredictable, but somehow also kind
just enough to keep you interested
keep you wanting more
until you're begging me to give you something, anything,
any kind of sign about what I like
or who I am or why I chose you
and how long is that lasting anyway?
I bet I could keep it up a while
drop crumbs for you to pounce on then change the subject
you don't get follow-up questions
my attention shifts too quickly,
and I am not above making excuses if the conversation gets too deep.
Can't we play a game where I make all the rules?
Rule #1: You give me all of you.
Rule #2: I decide exactly how much of me you see.
It could be fun
we'll call it 'Mystery Girl'

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
