1.** that i know you can't always be there for me
and sometimes you can't even be there for yourself
but sometimes
it hurts because
while trying to help build you up
i'm my own construction worker as well
and building two things up at once
....
rarely goes well.

2. that i know that you care about me
more than you show it
but i sometimes wish...
that maybe
...
maybe
you showed it
just a little more.

3. that i don't always know
what you need
but i will always try and help you
even sometimes
at my own
expense.

4. i need you to know
that you are way more important to me
than you can probably imagine
and that when you're feeling small you can remember
that you matter
to at least one soul.

5. that you are not alone in your battles
and that i take the "no soldier left behind" thing
very seriously.

6. that even though i am beyond confused
at where we stand at any given moment
i'll stand here with you.

7. that the times you need me most
i will be there
even if you can't do the same.

8. that you are worth it
all of it
every
last
bit

9. that i love you
in whatever form you want to take it
or if you want to take it at all
