So this is clearly a love note made into something that I would prefer not everyone understanding lol Just kidding. No, but seriously, this WILL be an ode to those people who just don't understand...yet.
Are you ready for this? Let's start by stating that every relationship has it's ups and downs. Unfortunately, I know this all too well. Now don't get me wrong, I've had my taste of emotional abuse and men who think that I am naive. Not that I'm not...I am. I'm a hopeless romantic and no matter how awesome that may seem to people, it doesn't always work out in my best interest or sanity. I have been known to fall for the convincing guy with the pretty eyes that make you feel like you're melting and the frequent I'm sorry, and I'll never do that again, or one of our favorites, "I'm here with you NOW...so you know what I want." (right...well where were you yesterday and where will you be tomorrow?) ANYWAYS, this is not about them. This is about the fact that when we DO have problems, we immediately run to loved ones for advice or venting comfort. How many of us run to our loved ones and talk to them about a good or awesome day? NOT MANY admit it...that part is kinda lost because we aren't jolted out of the moment with tears or hyperventilating or whatever it may be that you do when you're hurting.
This is for all the times you...
Woke me up even though you were late and just stuck around to make sure I was okay.
The times you got up at 4am to get me food when my blood sugar crashed.
The times you brought me flowers or something just because you felt like it.
When you drove me to the hospital or doctor cuz you knew I was too weak to do it myself.
When you came to my rescue because my car broke down or had a flat tire.
The times you watch my shows even though you weren't that interested..
For rubbing my feet and legs to help my bad circulation even though your team is playing on tv.
When you sit and listen to my stories although you are probably bored out of your mind.
When you looked into my eyes and told me you loved me even though that romance stuff creeps you out.
How you run errands for me when I'm sick even though it's not your responsibility.
How you listen to my radio station even when you hate that music.
How you drop everything to come to my rescue when I'm stuck in the hospital.
How you stay in the hospital, never leaving my side even though you know you'd rather not be laying on that plastic bench they call a bed.
For accepting some of my friends even though they are guys and you know how much I mean to them...
For making me laugh when I feel like the world is cynical and pessimistic.
For holding my hand when you see a tear welling up in my eye...over a movie, real life drama, or pain I can't handle.
When you change your life for me and quit everything that I cannot live with.
This one goes out to all of the men or women that go out of their way to care for someone even though it puts them out or gets in the way of other plans or wishes they may have. Although it may take a while to truly get me and all of their antics, you find somehow to figure them out...because you care that much. In the end, no one knows how it will end but at least there was a point where you can say you put your ALL into something or someone. Don't forget that it is ALWAYS important to try.
YOU AND ME friends we may be,
Until the very end,
But if you take time to pick it apart,
You'd realize we started out as friends.
No one can change who we've become,
It's truly who we've always been at heart.
So now we just have to wait and see,
If we can stand being apart.
I guess God and fate can only tell,
What will become of you, me, or us.
You know where my heart is now,
We're just looking for that last piece....trust.
Don't give up on something great. ride it out till the very end...this way, if it doesn't work out, you can say you gave your very best attempt and it will end up being something beautifully made, or something wonderful that just wasn't meant to be for whatever reason. STEP BACK before it becomes something like hatred. Let it breath. If you hold something down long enough, it will eventually fight to get free. ANY living thing would fight for it's life if threatened with death, either mental, emotional, or physical.
