I’m okay
I’ve never been helpless
I’m not the baby
Anymore
Don’t worry
I don’t need saved
I’ve made it this far
On my own
I’m all right
I never asked for
Not your baby
All alone
Don’t worry
I’m okay
I was your baby
Not anymore

This is so sad, but liberating at the same time. I think we all want to be somebody’s baby, but are we ever . . . truly? A very heart-felt piece here.
James. Always called me Baby, in a whispered barely audible voice that was supposed to make me believe he loved me; and it worked for a long time.
The first time he called me baby I laughed to myself because it sounded so cheesy but I couldn’t stop the shiver it sent down my spine. For 10 yrs I longed to hear him call me baby
Until I found out he said it to all women, even the ones he was seeing behind my back.
He’s saying it to some other woman now
Sounds like there’s a lot of memories….
Thank you for reading.
