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.

Andrea Dietrich July 28, 2020 at 5:49 PM 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 Caren Krutsinger July 29, 2020 at 9:53 AM Thank you Andrea. It could be any relative. You are right. Not marriage.

Kim Rodrigues July 28, 2020 at 1:30 PM 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!
