2 weeks

I was able to hold you for 2 weeks

I didn’t get to hear your heartbeat or see you on the ultrasound

but I got to carry you for 2 weeks

I never got to meet you or even know what your gender was

but I did get to love you and whisper to you for 2 weeks

I never got to buy you your first onesie

but I got to cherish it for 2 weeks

I now get to love you for eternity

no matter the time, no matter the hurt

I feel empty without you like my body lost its purpose

But you are watching over me

You are protecting your big sister

But I only got to protect you for 2 weeks
