the heartbeat outside of your own

you are growing so fast.

there are so many days when i feel like we see such alot of these expressions.

i feel like we are navigating our way through some rocky. on the verge. stuff.

i am a little reluctant. in all honesty.

to let you get all grown up.

to let you make your own toast. pour your own milk.

i know how little you still are.

how much independence you crave.

how you miss nothing.

and see everything.

this growing up thing.

i was so keen to do myself.

yet how keen i am to slow it.

just a little.

when it is the small extra heartbeat.

outside of my own.
