“I know the words are hanging

on the tip of your tongue.

I just wish that the courage

you showed to me when you

finally admitted your feelings

that you always had for me

could be pushed upon

your parents. I want to tell you

that it’s true about what

they say; no matter what happens,

your parents will always love you.

But that’s not the case anymore,

and I wish that I could tell you

it is, but unlike them, I won’t

lie to you. I won’t sugarcoat

the future, because I know

that you aren’t too favorable

of sweets. So instead, I’ll be

your backbone. I will support

your knees when they buckle

from rejection. I can’t promise

that why will always love you,

but I can cross my heart that I

always will. And shouldn’t that

be enough for you to spill

the truth? My home and my heart

will always be open to you.

So if your parents decide to close

the doors on the life that you

once had, and the life you could

possess, remember that I will

never lock the door. Remember

that no matter what happens

to us, I will always love you.

And I think that should be enough

strength for you to take on

any amount of force. Even if

that force was the one that

brought you into this world,

and more importantly,

the force that brought you

into my life, and into my arms.”
