darling i must ask you to be patient, for i will not always be what you expect of me. sometimes i'll be a bit insecure and i will begin to doubt myself. sometimes i'll be self centered and complain about irrelevant things. sometimes i'll be dejected and i will grieve over every soul that has walked away from me. sometimes i'll be spiteful and i won't talk to you for days. but you must bear with me. because someday all of these flaws will be smoothed out and i will be exactly what you expect me to be. and maybe the day when my flaws are hardly visible then i will be happy. (and i'd like for you to be there to see this happen.)
