To Jaide
I love You.
You may not hear it
from me always
but
I love You–
I really do.
Sometimes,
I wondered why I
was able to put up with you
as you did
with me…
I even thought
you were foolish enough
to really
understand me…
I know,
sometimes you don’t–
but
you didn’t leave.
You didn’t give up on me.
That’s why,
i Love you.
For being honest with me
despite the risk
that i may not like what you do.
For not counting
the many apologies I owe
when I
make you worry.
For
staying immune
to my childish acts
and–
stupid thoughts.
For staying calm
despite the lash of
angry, unthinkable words
i spit out.
For simply being there…
I love you.
though I know
you could never
be perfect.
Though you act
really "discouraging" most times…
Though I had a lot of
disappointments
in you.
It doesn’t matter,
I love you.
But I don’t have
the right
to hold you long.
Freedom.
It’s all yours now.
You weren’t really mine–
and perhaps,
you’ll never be.
I love you–
so much…
That I had to set you free.
