I wish I could go back,
Not to change who I met,
Not to change what I felt,
But to change the moments that hurt you.
Because if I knew
That one day you would become
The most important person in my life,
I would have protected your heart
Even before it was mine to protect.
I made a mistake
Before I understood your value,
Before I understood
That you were not just someone in my life,
But the person
My life would start to revolve around.
And the worst part is not what happened,
But that it hurt you,
That you felt betrayed,
That you felt like you were second,
When in my heart
You were always first
Even before I admitted it to myself.
If I could take that pain from your chest
And put it into mine,
I would do it without thinking twice,
Because seeing you hurt
Because of me
Is something I never want to see again.
You could have left.
You had every right to leave.
You had every reason to close the door,
To walk away,
To protect yourself from me.
But you didn’t.
You stayed.
You forgave.
You loved me
Even when it was hard to love me.
And I don’t think you understand
How big that is,
How rare that is,
How much that means to me.
You didn’t just forgive a mistake,
You gave me another chance
To be the man you believe I am.
And I promise you,
Not with pretty words,
Not with poems,
Not with messages,
But with my actions from now on,
That I will never put you in a position
Where you feel like you are not the only one.
I will protect your heart
Like it is more important than mine.
I will be honest even when I’m scared.
I will choose you
In every room,
In every situation,
In every version of my life.
Because loving you
Is not just something I say,
It is something that changed me,
Something that softened me,
Something that made me want to be better,
Not for the world,
Not for people,
But for you.
You are not just someone I love.
You are the person who taught me
What love actually is.
And if one day someone asks me
What love looks like,
I won’t explain it,
I won’t define it,
I will just point to you.
Because loving you
Is the most beautiful thing
That has ever happened to me.
