I wish you didn't love me.
Then it wouldn't make me
hate myself so much
for hurting you.
I find myself
always apologizing
for who I am.
I have to find excuses
for my behavior
because nothing about you
warrants my treatment.
But your love is
changing me,
making me better everyday.
It's just a slow process
with setbacks at times.
I know I won't become
a new person overnight.
I'm so thankful that
you love me.
Because without your love,
I would be unlovable.
