Christopher
Oh. Christopher.
Where have you been?
Back when I had no Christopher.
Back when I needed you to be my Christopher.
But for that short time, all I knew was Chris..
Just Chris..
That's what your friends and family called you.
That's all mom ever called you.
Never Christopher.
Because you were no Christopher.
Not like the Christopher I know now.
And for such a short time.
But more a man than Chris ever was.
When we met he was just Chris, but oh,
What a Christopher he has turned out to be!
Something told me he'd be different.
Now Christa has her Christopher.
