I am

(My meanings will be in parentheses. This is everything)

♡I dedicate this poem to K**** K** B****♡

*I am the gravel beneath your feet. (secretly, I cherish and worship the very ground you walk on) *I am the blanket took w/you to sleep. (The big snuggly teddy bear that We know I truly am) *I am the water in your cup of tea, (We can't survive without this; water, or fluids) *I am the Y in your happy and free. (The jerk)(The reason why you are so happy and content now)

*I am the loss of the love that we shared (a drifter, a coward, a fool)(was afraid to fully commit to you when you are the one I wanted, still do, youre the one I needed, still do, and committing to you is exactly what I've been wanting to do, I was just afraid, okay?) *I am so alone, deeply broken and scared. (I am lost without you and I am so sorry... I am such an idiot and I never meant and I never intended or wanted to lose you)

*I am the sunshine that lights up your day, (when I'm loving, kind, and helps out many ways) *I am the clouds the winds blow away. (Poofy, flighty, scattered, maybe a little gloomy, dreary, and uhg, lol) *I am the rain falling upon your face, (a rush of cool freshness that suddenly feels super good and refreshing) *I am the tears that you cried all to waste. (the asshole)(didn't listen to your feelings or hear your words as I should have done much better, if I truly loved you)

*I am the engine, that drives your car, (without you and I, the car doesn't work right.) *I am the love that we've had near and far. (It didn't matter and still doesn't matter what we've endured, I love you more and always and it's sexy as hell when a woman can battle it out but she decides to stay) *I am the world in the palm of your hands, (My whole world is controlled by you, I surrender) *I am the devil that destroyed our romance.(relapse) *I have the biggest heart anyone can see, (This is me truly) *I have mistakes to live with haunting me. (Many)

*I am the Knot on the trunk of the tree, (The growth that makes you grow around, uhg.) *I am your burden letting you go to be free. (I don't want to keep hurting you, and I refuse to hurt you anymore, so I have to let you go) *I am the grass choked out from the weeds, (A soft, cushy, cool lightness with thistles growing in it)

*I am the shadow messing up when we leap, (The real physical nightmares given to us everytime we make progress) *I am the light that hears when you weep. (I know my faults and I am owning them, I love you and I wish you life and love, and happiness, even if not with me 😢 ) *I am the cotton, falling soft on your skin, (That feeling of freshness when you get clean clothes on) *I am the heartache broken down never win. (I am sorry I failed you, please give me another try)(I will not fail you a third time, I swear on my momma and my own life.) *I am forgiveness stewing inside your skin, (Knowing you are sorry too, and are lonely and sad. But wish me to just be normal...your wishes have been answered.)

I am the chances, never failing to try, (The dedicated to you and love) *I am the hand who holds on when you cry, (I only wish to love you right and be loving and compassionate towards you. You are delicate, fragile, and worthy) *I am the sorriest man on the earth, (A fool to lose such a wonderful woman.) *I am the chance we both know it's worth. (Please forgive me ****, I promise to love you how you need me to.)
