There Is Nothing To Forgive

You ask for my forgiveness. And I clasp your hands in mine, look deep in your eyes, and say, "There is nothing to forgive".

Nothing. Nothing at all. What have you done but acts borne of love and concern? What have you perpetuated but out of a desire to be near me, to hold me for that moment longer? You say you give me lots of trouble. I say, when the deed is done for you, it is no trouble at all. You say you always need me to entertain you even after I'm tired out from work. I say, no matter how tired I am, seeing you gladdens my heart and I will drag myself to meet you if it comes to it. You say you are contradictory. I say, you are sweet, for wanting everything to go well for me, even if the means to these various well-beings do not sometimes go in sync.

I dearly wish for you to understand that all the sacrifices I partake of, I do so willingly because I love you. Yes, I may grumble at the inconvenience of it all sometimes. But deep down inside, I would willingly fly to the moon and back if you wished it. Anything at all. No matter how much I grumble, how black my face may seem, my heart is willing to do it for you. Think on it; if I weren't willing to do it, was unhappy at the prospect of doing those things, would I have done them anyway? That I dislike those deeds and activities enough to grumble, and yet do it for you anyway, would be a poignant reminder of how willing I am to do them, because of you.

I am paradoxical of sorts. I love the way you're always asking for words of affirmation, yet get exasperated when you ask too often. I think it's sweet that you always want to be with me, even if I have to sacrifice personal time to do that. Please remember that, no matter what, you come first in my life. And that's because I love you.

Don't worry about the way you behave, how you always say me, stop me from contacting my close gal friends etc. Those are sacrifices I willingly undertake in order to make you happy. Your happiness is of paramount importance to me, and I will always strive to put that smile on your face. And I do not mind all these, because I know you love me, and you do all these because you love me. And I love you for this.

Sometimes, I do wish that you'd take maintaining the relationship more seriously, and not advocate breaking up everytime we meet with a problem. It shatters me, even though I understand that you do all that because of how deeply you are in love with me, and how much pain you feel as a result when something errs between us. But beyond that, because everything you do is out of love for me, I do not mind. In fact, I love you even more for that. You're the sweetest thing to ever occur in my life, you know that?

I love you.
