I once told myself I would never have my name on page 1 of words twice at the same time, but I think this needed to be said.
The door was open and I crashed on through,
as I'm wont to do from time to time.
I'm really not sure if you showed me the key
or I dragged you with me down the road,
But we've loved beyond words and
we've traveled in herds to be together for
a glorious sunset by the bay.
For a hotel room and a pack of smokes,
tell a few jokes and I'll describe for you the meaning of life,
in a haiku if you like.
I haven't always known what I wanted,
not every time did I think it through before I jumped in,
and often I was holding your hand when I leapt.
Knowing you were behind me gave me hope,
the strength to cope, and awareness from a world
that hasn't been written about in books just yet.
The places we've ended up in weren't what we had planned,
no beaches of sand or southern paradise.
We dreamed some dreams that were larger than possibility,
even reality hasn't always been able to keep up,
but where we are isn't the end -
and for every promise that I haven't been able to keep,
when you go to sleep tonight forgive me.
"Gentles do not reprehend, if you pardon, we will mend,"
for I would bend over sideways to see you all smile.
Even a fraction of the love you have given would be enough
to last the toughest heart all it's days.
I am not so strong as I've always planned on,
but I've learned enough to know that you'll love me anyway.
And for that I am more grateful more than I ever could have known.
You have shown me what it is to live.
I may doubt myself from time to time,
question my mind and wish that I could turn the clock back,
yet as soon as the fog clears and I start to look around
I have found that here isn't a bad place to be.
So remember, that for every day that I've lain in worry,
in my bed and hiding from the world,
I never once doubted you, who you were, who you'll be,
and who you are is what makes me get up and enjoy the sunshine.
I love you guys, and I've missed you so much. For all the times I didn't say the right thing, for all the times that I made a decision that caused someone else pain, I give you my apologies. That doesn't mean much, because it's just words, so you have my heart as well. I'm glad to know each and every one of you, and I am happy to say that my life will never be the same for having met you.
