If I have been impatient with you, and didn’t know that the words I threw at you
thudded like stones against your head
I am sorry.
But know that I did come to you late at night while you were sleeping and squeeze you tightly.

If I didn’t provide the wings and rejoice with you as you soared towards your dreams
I was mistaken
The sky should have been your home
But know that you soar over me always.

If I didn’t cradle you in my arms as you cried and let you know that whatever tears life rained upon us
We would overcome them together
I am ashamed
But know that I would crawl through the fiercest storms to shield you.

If there have been times we have been together yet you have felt alone and lost
Then I am hopeless and stranded.
But I will search for you always.

If I never told you that I would forsake all the tomorrows without you just to spend one day with you
Then I am miserable
But know that I have no desire to drink from tomorrows cup if you are not there to taste it with me.

If I have pushed you away and caused you to leave
I am searching
But know that although I cannot gaze upon you,  you have never left me. Your shadow nestles always within my bones.

This is a great write with wonderful phrasing and word choice.  KJ

Have read many times, and let the feelings seep deeply. This is one of the most sincere and heartfelt writings I have ever read.
A keeper.

Some just never leave us...

Wonderful write!
