Groveling To Stay the We That Makes Me

I want to be me, but I want us too. I am not me unless you are part of me. I deserve one more chance. Everybody does actually. One mistake does not make a relationship So why should it break one? Especially a good one. We are part of each other, for life. You cannot discard me. Disrespect me, sure. Maybe I deserve a bit of that, but we are linked for life. We are blood; you cannot deny that. I want to be me, but I want us too. I am not me unless you are part of me So forgive me. I am begging you. I know I am not perfect, but I am your imperfect person. Whatever I have to do, I will do. Please just ask. The answer is yes.

I am thinking this is not about marriage because you said "we are blood" and that is so sad if it's a child of yours. I LOVE this, Caren. FAVE

Thank you Andrea. It could be any relative. You are right. Not marriage.

So true in a marriage: I am not me unless you are part of me. There is something about the different gifts people bring. I hope everything is okay, sweet one!

It was for a poetry contest, and I do not think I even placed.
