First "Love"

The second of two poems I wrote from Kuroto's POV about Emu for a college class.

Dear Mother,

For the first time in my life,

I think I'm in love.

Although the first time we "spoke"

was so very long ago, sixteen years,

and the first time I saw Him was six years ago.

We first properly met some months ago.

He's a doctor, well, a medical intern

But He's planning on becoming a pediatrician. 

It fits Him well, if He were a woman

I'm certain He would be an ideal mother. 

He looks at me with such bright eyes

and a smile like the sun's warmth.

His laughter is the church's bells.

Though, I do somewhat hate His laugh

He's never once laughed for me.

It's only ever with that man the church bells ring.

Well, I do have a bit of a plan in mind

so that I may finally be the one to ring the bells,

but, that will require some time and secrecy.

If you don't mind, Mother.

It will likely be some time before I can introduce you to Him proper,

I need to court Him first, after all,

but I think you would be fond of Him, too.

Now, I must go take care of,

a certain obstacle in the way of my love. 

With love, 

your beloved son.
