Forty Rules of Love

When I look at you something changes 
I feel the pain in me when all I know is one day you wont be here to catch me
When you fought for my rights but I backed down to keep the reputation of my family high 
No matter what I do I still come to you 
You have given me hope, happiness, and anything love 
I know I broke you, hurt you, but through that I fought for you, trying to change the eyes of my parents 
Maybe one day when I’m ready ill come for you 
I don’t expect you to wait for me
To hold me 
To change me 
But all I ever ask is to never stop loving me 
I have never felt the opening of love 
And the destruction of the gates closing 
I always thought we could go through this with the happiness of others  in the bottom of our shoes 
We always fought for love 
But it was never enough 
I’m sorry I hurt you 
I’m sorry I didn’t fight for you 
I hope you find someone who would love you the way you deserve to be loved 
When I am accepted by myself and my family 
I am yours no matter what 
I love you 
I am sorry 
Forgive me
