Someday I hope you’ll see me.

I show my love with gestures great and small, yet only the flaws are what makes your day.

Just once, I wish that you could see me.

I take on extra when youre tired; I pick you up each time you fall.

I let you know when Im thinking of you, and I share the way I feel.

I know that sometimes I need you, too.

Sometimes I stumble or find myself weak.

I dont mean to be needy, but people need other people, too.

I dont shy away on your darker days; I keep loving even when you attempt to push away.

I tell you all the good I see, especially when you cant find your way.

I know that sometimes I point out your shortcomings, though.

Often I dont let you live it down.

I dont mean to sound nagging, but I want you to see who you are, too.

I wish you could see that my intentions are good.

I do all things out of love and with your best wishes in mind.

Im never trying to one-up you or go behind your back; Im never making you look bad.

I want to give my all for you because you matter so very much.

I know sometimes you judge my actions, however.

You cant see the method to my madness.

I dont mean to sound infallible, because Im far from perfect, either.

But, despite all our ups and downs, my dear…

I just wish that you could see me.

I see you standing in front of me, and embrace you just the way you are.

Perhaps Ive never held your respect or high regard, and perhaps I never will.

But I dont let go so easily, no matter what the pain costs.

Someday I hope youll see me, because Im never letting go.
