Ah, Its A Moms Way

Unrequited love is a heartache
Was what an eight year old had 
Taken home and told his mom
While quizzed about the movie
He had gone along with his elder cousins

Being the best friend she was and 
Always been, clasped him in a 
Tight embrace, ruffled his hair and 
Gave a sweet peck on his cheek

Thirty years from then is almost half a lifetime and 
Many unrequited and few reciprocated
Relations later, that eight year old
Today has an eight year old son

Despite all those years
I could still remember that day and 
Feel in all its sweetness, what
Mom has imprinted on that day.
