Array ( [sid] => 143947 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I am too selfish tonight [time] => 2008-07-16 14:58:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I am too selfish tonight

The time is now 22:33,

our son is asleep,

I want to say sorry to our son,

I didn't tell him you were coming.

I was afraid he will wait for you,

just so......

Before our son went to bed,

he asked me when you will come back,

I smiled and promised him,

he can see you tomorrow morning,

he said to me,

"Really?

I must wake up early......"

I wonder why,

I am too selfish tonight.

After dinner,

I wanted to tell our parents your news,

but the words stuck in my throat,

for I didn't want anyone to share it.

Yes,

I am very selfish tonight,

I hope I am the first person appearing before your eyes,

I don't want anyone to disturb us,

I wish tonight only belong to ourselves......

Looking at the clock,

I know you will come back soon,

once again I look at our son,

kiss him to say I love him.

Do you know?

there is your favorite foods in our room,

I bought them for you this afternoon......

Now,

The silence is uncanny,

our parents have fallen asleep,

our room is a marvel of neatness and order,

let me stow the pen and notebook away in the drawer......

Yes,

I am going to stand at the door,

I want to hear the scurry of your feet outside,

I want to open the door at the first time,

I want to give you a very surprise,

there is also some tea for you.

Yes,

a wonderful time will only belong to us.......

loved the poem original and well it was well spoken/written. just remember its ok to be selfish sometimes. you have to indulge in some of your wants once in a while. because its hard to make other happy if your not happy yourself :).
