To my significant other,

I wish you could embrace my flaws, instead of wishing them away. I wish you could see past the negative aspect and realize that what I do helps me. You made me promise that I would stop, and it breaks my heart to lie to you and tell you that I did, because the truth is that I haven't stopped. You have helped me through hard times, and you've been with me in all the good times, but the pain that you are putting me through now, is just too much. You made me promise, you made me say that I would stop but this pain has come on so strong that because of you, this is my only release. I love you, I love you but I don't love myself, and until you love me back loving myself seems impossible. You tell me everyday that you love me, and I used to believe you, I used to hang on your every word. Now recently, I force myself to believe you and I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do. I wish you could open up to me, and let me embrace YOUR flaws, but you're afraid to show potential weakness, and I know that. But I don't see why you feel that pushing me away is the way to handle whatever problem you are going through. You are avoiding me, making me feel unwanted. A simple, nice, loving phone call would make my day but you refuse to go to the effort. I love you more than you know, and all I ask is that you love me in return, through all my flaws. My imperfections are what make me perfect after all, same with you and everyone else. Just except me, love me, hold me, be with me. Be mine.

I love you forever and a day,

Gill
