I know it’s hard.
We’ve been through so many cards.
Work, friends, family, life.
There have been love, laughter, and heavy fights.
Together we’ve won, and together we’ve lost,
Bridges we’ve burned and bridges we’ve crossed.

It takes a toll, and it takes some trust.
Respect, patience, and words,
emotional intimacy and physical touch.
Without all that, our vision blurs.

There are times when I’m weak,
when I need your strength and your love.
That old darkness will always haunt me.
It will steal my joy and all I’ve dreamed of.
I hope you never truly know this lack of light,
and I’m sorry for bringing it into your life.
