Birthdays and forevers

Jude writes as a woman again

Its my birthday
40 OMG no not that age.
I turn In the bed the lounge lizard I met at the bar
last night wants one more go at me.

I tell him I need to take a call my mom
she calls me first on my birthday its a ritual.
She says her friend is coming in from Columbus Ohio 
She has her son with her 
she wants me to join them for dinner tonight 
give them  a California welcome.

I went,
mom gave me
the men don't marry easy women speech
and told me she could see my nipples
through my blouse.
I was ready for the boring night
of platitudes from moms friend.
But it was then I met him.

He was so beautiful 
why do the young
have  to  be  So fucking beautiful.
He noticed my nipples
I think he was fascinated by me
to my shame I flirted with him.
We went outside 
I lit a joint and we shared it.

How. Old are you I asked 
Old enough
  he said and held my gaze.
I took him home and fucked him
it was beautiful 
not like the bar trash I usually got.
I wanted to give him everything.

My mom was mad the next day.
She said leave him alone he's only 23
But I didn't 
I wanted to undress for him again.
And I did.

He would not go back home east
with his mother?
In truth I wanted him to stay 
I let him stay at my place.
I never do that 

I have not found anyone in ten years
I wanted to spend even  a weekend with.
But he touched me, deeply, 
So fucking innocent 
I gave him everything.

He had no job or money.
I found him playing Nintendo
after work and drinking my beer and wine.
He was a bit intoxicated one night
and I got mad and threw him out.

He phoned me twenty times a day
So I let him back 
I undressed  for him as always 
and he took me to the Bed
He had no condoms
but I Had missed him so much
I just wanted him.

It was eight weeks later 
I realized I was pregnant?
Young guys like him
are full of fast moving fishes.
I sent him away back to Columbus 
He was crying
and told me he loved me.
But I could not trap him
to parenting a baby.

A year later he 
He was outside my door
he said he loved me
and couldn't live without me.
I tried to stop him coming in
but his beautiful eyes got me again

I undressed for him
and we made love on the bed.
The baby awoke in the next room
And he went in to see her.
He looked up at me
and he knew ...he knew

He said nothing 
and picked up our daughter 
holding her close to his heart.
He kissed her head
and comforted her,
Its alright honey
daddy's here
he whispered to the child 

A year later 

Our  second child 
was born two weeks ago
hes a beautiful boy.
He has his father's eyes.

As for me, 
I found my soulmate 
nobody ever said
he had to the same age.
