I don't understand why my life has to be so screwed up.
I am just a normal girl with struggles. Just like everybody else, in case you don't know.
So what if I am not like what I was 7 years ago? I have grown up. And you have to accept that fact. I wish I could keep myself from growing up. I wish I was still the innocent girl I used to be. I wish I was not the way I am today. I just wish.
And I appreciate your effort to understand me. Truth is, I don't even know if there is someone who truly understands me because that person has undergone what I have been through. Sadly, I have not met the one.
I wish you can be here by my side, listen to every word I say, telling me similar stories you have been through, and wipe away all my tears because I really need you right now.
Please come to me. Please.
When he is at his worst, I see him at his best. In his mistakes, I see perseverance. In his weakness, I see courage. In his past, I see what made him. In his future, I see all that he will become.
When I look into my heart, I see him. When I close my eyes, I feel him. While my contentment comes from within, he is my lighthouse, shining my way home.
Why do I feel this way? He has cast me aside. He has shown me his anger. He has shown me his immaturity. Yet in his anger, I feel his fear; in his immaturity, I see his imperfection; in his rude, dismissive attitude, I feel his frustration.
Does he know how I see him? Does he realize how perfect he is in my eyes?
When I am scared, he is my protector. When I feel alone, he is my comfort. He is there for me before I ask. He knows my pain before I feel it, and understands it better than me. He guards my body from harm, and my heart from pain. He is the love of my life.
