I doubt I’ll get any.

Watching over me

shadow cast upon the ground

inescapable

I’m nothing like you

i tell myself

but i know that’s not the case

we are all destined to become our parents

only its usually too late

by the time we realize

there is no manual for life

i am what my parents made me to be

an smart ass with an attitude

quick tempered and stubborn

noble, and loyal

hardworking and loving

a great friend

an asshole

all my victories and failures

a result of theirs…

I wont promise you eternal happiness

or a life without dispair.

But i guarantee you here and now

that when times get rough,

I wont be runing scared.

Ill hold your hand through every storm

that tries to knock our temple down.

That from the ashes brick by brick

we will always rise up from the ground.

Im not about the fairy tales

I cant promise you a happy ending.

I promise to always tell the truth

with me there is no pretending.

I will be there with you through thick and thin,

i will go that extra mile.

Im sorry that im no Bradd Pitt.

I’m just a guy that loves your smile.

I love you despite all your flaws,

I hope to love you better.

Cause loving you from this far out,

I can only love you through this letter.

It warms a part inside of me

to see you crack a smile.

If only courage i could breed

to walk this lonely mile.

I’d walk 99 miles to get to you

and be within that mile.

I fear that if you truly knew

you’d simply change the dial.
