So, to YOU who cannot love me back the way that I love you..

The thought of you makes my heart beats fast.
As I imagine you looking into my eyes, my soul comes alive.
You are everything I want. The only one my heart prays to God every day and night.
 
And even before you were born, I have loved you.
 
One day, God heard my prayers. You came into my life.
 
Nothing can compare to the joy I have felt when I first touched your soft skin.
Your first cry was a sound to my ear.
Your first smile was the greatest image that I have ever seen.
With your innocent and genuine face, I deeply fell in love with you.
 
You have not said any words that day, but in my heart I knew, you didn’t have to say anything for me to give you my love.
 
I love you just the way you are.
 
But life wanted to test my love for you.
 
It was a bittersweet day for me. My heart was tore into pieces when they opened my eyes to the truth that you were different, you were far from what the society expects you to be, you have special needs that others may not understand, but, I accepted you.
 
There were days when I cried to myself because you couldn’t look into my eyes.
 
There were moments when I wished you would say my name, but your silence was louder than the words I have always wanted to hear from you.
 
Days when my embrace was not enough to secure you and make you feel loved.
 
It was painful. It was heartbreaking.  But still, I love you. I held on to my love for you. Because loving you means not giving up on you.
 
In my eyes, you are the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
 
So, to YOU who cannot love me back the way that I love you, do not be sorry, I will always love you - no matter what.
 
Because you are my child, I love you not for what you can or cannot do.
 
I love you for who you are.
I love you just the way you are.
