You are part of conversations and I don't feel hesitant about it
She can sense my true happiness when we talk
There have been no warnings about you
She seems to like you as much as I do
But I'm older now and she trusts my judgment of you
I talk to her about things I never tried to talk about in the past
When it comes to advice about relationships she is my guide
And even when the subject is you she is more acceptable that you mean so much to me
I even hear the change in her voice when we talk on conference calls with you
She's never talked much to any guy I've dated
She's never really liked any of the guys I brought home or didn't
But she hears the realness in your tone
The underlying comfort in your voice
It says something about me, her and you
It says I've grown and from her teaching me I can spot unhealthy relationships before they become a problem
It says that she's comfortable with how she's raised me as a woman and she trusts my choice of you
It even says that she trusts you with her daughter
That you have done something that no other guy has done
And that's respected her by respecting her daughter
You've made a great shift in my life and it is because you are who you are
She's seen my smile in the pictures and has not questioned it once
She is my mom and I trust her
She is my best friend and I will never allow anyone to take that place
She is my advisor, counselor and mentor
And she is the reason I am the woman I am now
She is the reason I chose a sweet and caring man
She is the reason I chose you
*Thanks Mom*
