An Apology

I married him one fine day
Secure in the knowledge 
Of how happy his life
I will make
Everything looked bright and warm
Everyone was helpful
Time passed on
Living in the warm cocoon of his arms
I failed to realize that
It is he who is making my life happy
Absorbing all my worries
As a sponge
And never burdening me with his
Fulfilling all my hopes and desires
Always assuring that I am happy
My tears would tear his heart apart
My laughs would make him come to life
He solved all my problems
Making me believe that 
I had solved them
He was always there
To encourage me
To listen to my days work
He never ever complained
He sacrificed his time 
With his family and friends
To be by my side
He gave all his life to me
And I kept on taking
Secure in the knowledge
Of how happy his life I am making.
