Are You...?

I am sure that you weren't expecting
I am sure you thought that everything was over
No more drama
No more crazy talk
No more having to plan for a baby's future

You always acted like you wanted this
Like you wanted to start a family
But...
Are you sure?

When I told you
You sounded upset
You asked me "again?"
Does that mean you wish it weren't so

I didn't plan for it
So please don't be disapointed
I want you to be excited
I want us to grow closer
Not farther apart

I know that there are going to be hard times
But the good times will out-weigh
The crys the screams
The laughs the smiles
This will be our first born child

We are both strong
We are both determined
This will only bring us closer
But are you sure this is what you want

I am scared that "we" will only last for awhile
I want us to last forever
I don't want divorice papers
I don't want custody battles

I am asking you now
Are you willing to love me for a lifetime
Are you sure that you want me to me the mother
The mother of your child
Are you in this for the long term
Are you willing to give your all
Loving your child
Loving only me

I don't want to be just another single mother
I want you by my side
Raising our baby
The same way your father did
Teaching ours what you were taught

I just need to know
Are you sure...
