Few of you might remember me, I posted a very long story about a month ago.
A lot of things have gone down since then, and this is basically my closing poem. I'm still coming to the board to read, because this is educational stuff...
I was just hoping to get some feedback.
For those of you who don't know me, the "baggage" is a baby that was conceived two months before we met. It's been almost a year now.

Es tiempo! Es tiempo de escribir otra vez...
I feel like my emotions are flying and
my mind and heart can't catch up to them.
I'm so overwhelmed.
What makes me love a man with baggage in his hands?
What makes me trust a man with this mistake in his past?
And why do I feel the need to judge a man
who stands by me?
who's willing to move across the country just to be with me?
who saw to it that I would wear a gold engagement ring?
who knows when I'm down and tries to turn my frown into a smile?
who asks me what he's done wrong so that he can make it right?
He promised to love me, through the good and hard times.
I flaked more than once, and he proved that
those weren't just lines.
He said, "in love you can't just leave your partner behind,
I'll love you forever, no matter how much
you yell or cry.
If we get mad at each other, we can forgive.
I will love you as long as I live."
It's why I love him.
As times change, my love will stay the same.
These are TRYING, TRYING times with some problems that
may never grow old.
But I'm gonna keep heading down this road to see where it takes me,
I won't be alone because I'm meeting with my baby down the line.
I keep tellin' myself it'll all turn out fine.
I'm just grateful for my health and my sane mind.
My brown eyes that let me see his sunny smile,
my two arms and two hands that let me hug and touch him once in a while,
my two ears that let me hear his voice turn sweet and playful when he feels like
I'm slippin' away or not in the mood for
what life has brought my way.
He's...
still there when I close my eyes
still there when I have to say goodbye
still there even when I start to cry because I miss him
because being apart is too hard, and because this distance gets expensive,
and more extensive as our lives drag out.
"My mother says I can't live with you, and I have to hear her out."
"Oh, you can't move here yet because I might be leaving town."
"I have two years of school left, and we can't wed until I'm done."
It all happens for a reason, I've been learning day by day.
If you want something good to happen, you've got to act on faith,
regardless of the pain.
You...
You are a source of happiness in my life.
This is why I accepted to one day become your wife.
You are strong, and always try to do things right.
You can keep a sense of humor even when I want to fight.
Me...
I am what you see, and have yet to be
things that I have only been in my dreams.
I want to be a leader, have a successful career.
I know we'll be supporting each other throughout the years.
We...
We have some issues that we need to settle.
I hope they don't tear us apart,
if we stay together, we get gold medals.
We have a lot to prove to each other, and to la sociedad.
Aunque uno fallo en su pasado, amor lo perdonara y lo llevara a progresar.
We're going to progress in our efforts to live better lives.
You will take that to your son, the one you
created that night...
and you will show him that his daddy lied but finally did right,
was lost but finally found the light,
lived far from his son but always had him in mind.
Tell him that life is not perfect but we can protect ourselves
by moving on and respecting ourselves,
by remembering others and offering help
to anyone we've affected in the past or present...
Because life is too short to feel so wrong
about a stray step we took,
the consequences a saaad soooong....
Tell him I love him as a part of you,
and that I can be one more person in the world
that he can go to.
...
Man, this route I chose has got me feeling down.
I feel so anxious and confused, but I'll stand my ground.
Anyone in my position would feel the same way.
Anyone with a heart, and "in love" enough to stay.
But when I count the pros and cons, I see
that there is still a reason that God brought you to me.
