If I had one chance to tell you something,
I'd tell you that everything will be OK.

That pain is only temporary
and if you can just hold on
I'll hold on to you.

That perfect love has no room for fear
so if you'll just trust in me
I will trust in you.

That you have everything you need
inside of yourself
if you could only see how strong you are.

That all I really want is to see you smile
and love yourself
more than you love me.

That I would do anything
just to make it better for you
and disperse this black cloud above you.

That your sadness is killing me
and that when you fall
I stumble

I may not be perfect, but I'm trying. I'm not going to be your angel, so please don't expect me to. If you think I'm too good for you, remember that I am not. I am far from good. I am far from right. I have been to the lowest places and I will never forget that. I'm not even sure if I have risen from them. If you think I'm not good enough for you, you're probably right. But please try not to remind me of how I have failed. I am reminded everyday of how I have failed in almost every regard. I do not need to you make me cry. I know how.

I will not leave without a fight. Your insults will only make me stronger. Your rejection only deepens my faith. Your hate only strengthens my convictions. Though I may have my own demons, I hide them deep inside. They eat away at me slowly and carefully. I will show them to you if you ask nicely...
I have a pain. I have a secret. Maybe a few of them.
I have a core. A core not easily shaken.

If you never knew me, how could you have loved me?

If you never cared to ask about me day, how could you care how I feel?

If you never listened when I told you you were breaking my heart, how could you possibly put it back together?

If you never know where I came from, how could you tell me where I should go?

If you never were there when I cried, how could you dry my tears?

If you never knew about the people that I loved, how could you say that I loved you?
