Dear mom,
In an alternate world, if I saw you, I would wrap my arms around you. I would beg you to be with me. I would try to convince you of a better way. Love would win.
Dear dad,
In an alternate world, you would be a safe person. I would be safe with you. The past could be erased.
Dear mom and dad, I would love to have us. I would love to love and be loved in a precious way. I’d love to smile at you adoringly, and have you be proud of me. I’d help you around the house; we’d have dinner. My children would be safe with you.
