this is for you.
you know who you are.
i was angry, you know. admittedly, at first, for selfish reasons. that you didn't want to see us. but now. when i see what you're like, I WEEP INSIDE.
where's the ______- that i knew? where's the good natured, easy going, cheerful __________?
you may not know it, but i know what you went through in primary school. you may not believe it, BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU.
you may doubt me, but I WAS THE SAME.
that's why i kept with you.
do you think i wouldn't have happily gotten rid of you in the past?
but i saw me in you. AND I LOVED YOU FOR WHO YOU WERE.
i admit, sometimes i would gladly leave you. sometimes i was harsh. for that i applogise.
but i did what i did for a reason.
do you think you would have gotten where you are if not for our support?
who were the ones behind you, comforting you EVEN WHEN WE WERE HURTING INSIDE TOO?
would you have grown to be the more socially inclined oerson you are IF WE WERE NOT THERE TO PROTECT YOU FROM YOUR PRIMARY SCHOOLMATES?
who stood up for you?
who teased you good-naturedly?
WHO TAUGHT YOU WHAT TO DO?
not me alone,
you have to thank all of them.
and now that you think you're mature enough, confident enough, likeable enough, you leave us.
i would you know.
i'm HAPPY that you've found something that you like.
i CONGRAGULATE YOU.
but.
i think you;re making mistakes.
your little sacrifices are adding up to larger ones.
they may not seem like much, but they are to us.
to you, the opportunity cost is acceptable.
but from an outsider's view, it's not.
if you must know.
you're the only one who's made me weep inside like that.
but.
when you're done with what you have to do, we'll be right here waiting.
