That's Why I Love You

You have never given up of me; so many times I have quarreled you, come home midnight, denied you love, refused your meals.... I was so obsessed with my own self struggle, that I had forgotten there's someone close to me, who feels hurt, pain and struggles, maybe more than I. You made me shed tears when you kissed me, and told me you knew one day I would change and see your love and sacrifice. That's why I Love You.... Date: 06/04/2016
