Don't make my light fade...
It was then I realized that all I ever needed was those three words.
“I am sorry.”
It took me so long to realize the significance of those three words because I had waited so long to hear their sincerity. It took so long… The pressure has driven me crazy, with so much pressure, my shoulder could barely hold it all, so I have given some to you. Knowing firsthand, how life detrimental it can be, to be held to such a high standard. Where you hold someone's life in your hands in order to guide, protect, and love them. If someone had told me how much it would take to love, I would have laughed it off. But after experiencing true love, I realized it's something I can't hold or control on my own. If I could, I'd pretend to be alright and put on my specialty mask. However, I've discovered that in a relationship, one man cannot do everything. Maybe if I had been more direct, we wouldn't have ended up here. Maybe we wouldn't be here if you had said something. I can't solely take the blame, nor should you. We should both.
Learn from one another, and most importantly, sincerely love one another. Where we both offer equally, comfort when we see one whose literally dying for a hug or a few words of reassurance. Because you never know how much a few words of encouragement will mean to someone. Just a f e w w o r d s... I appreciate silence, but not everything deserves it. My feelings and yours should be spoken of and never silenced. It takes two to play and win this game of life, for in my eyes one should never lose and we can both stand on the same level despite every challenge we’ve been through.
So, as I return your role to you. I hope you fulfill it, because I'm barely holding on, and all I want to do is fall into the safety of your arms.
