Dearest, I've lied to you today.
In fact, I've lied to you every day for an unforgivable amount of time.
I've told you things that have made you change your views, change your plans but most of all change yourself.
It's changed how you feel, how you see the world, how you see your own reflection.
I hope it's not too late but please accept this as an apology for all those years.
Things used to be so different between you & I. I'm not quite sure what changed. Was there a catalyst? Did there even need to be one?
Maybe it's just in our blood to feel this way about each other.
I mean, I've heard what you say about me. To your friends & family.
But I get it. I'm not the easiest to live with, you aren't either.
I guess all I'm asking for is forgiveness. We've got such a long way to go.
I know this but through all the dirt & heartbreak, I'd like to think I've helped make you who you are.
I just hope we make it out alive.
