I'm sorry if I ever hurt you.
If you love someone,
you will surely cause them pain;
that's the truth of the matter.
No one ever showed me
how to love someone,
so forgive me
if it's hard for me
to show you.
I am trying,
I promise.
In my own way.
I just don't know
how to be affectionate;
I know how to hug you tenderly
because no one hugged me.
I value you
even though I never said so.
I brag about you
to everyone I meet
even though I never praise you
face-to-face.
I'm proud of you,
more than I ever express.
I love you,
more than you can ever imagine.
