The Pledge

I tell you that I love you, but you don’t believe me. I try to hug you, but you don’t like to be touched. Every time to I try to kiss you, you say that you’re sick. I try to be there for you when, you’re feeling down; but you say you want to be alone. Why don’t you embrace my love? “Because when my mom told me she loved me, she beat me every day. She never hugged or kissed me not even once. Please tell me how can I wel- come and embrace love when my own mom didn't love me? Oh by the way I never knew my dad”. “I understand you so much clear- er now. You have been through so much my love. But know this I pledge my love to you until you believe”. 11-26-17 Alexis Y.
