Adoption

Knowing you are wanted
Dilutes the rejection.
Knowing you are wanted
Promotes great affection.
But who would have thought
By letting you go
You would lead a new life
And not wish to know
What it could have been like
Had you not gone away
Struggling with emotions
That haunt everyday.
Will they forget you?
Do they regret you?
Answers I fear
I don't wish to hear
But secretly want to find out.
Perhaps it is better
To enjoy a reality
Than think of what might have been
