Be Good To Her
Hey, you--
I know you have her now.
Well what can I say?
You won her?
Okay not really.
Just take care of her.
I did my best.
Tried to help.
Turns out I needed help myself.
I'm not a bad person.
Maybe you think that I am.
Maybe I think that I am.
But I know that I'm not.
I can't do something wrong,
without eventually making it right.
I still love her.
That will never change I guess.
I know that she did break me.
And in the end she was not mine.
And I was not her's.
I know I've said some mean things.
In my poems.
In the past.
But please look past that.
They are emotions after all.
Just know that I'm happy for you two.
And that I'm trying to be the better person.
I trying to turn over a new leaf.
I am still hurt by things she did.
Hopefully she will not do to you.
I'm sorry I caused her trouble.
And pain.
I cheated on her.
That will always be true.
Cheating isn't bad.
If it turns out to be love.
It can't be that bad.
You pushed her to break up with me.
But it wasn't your fight.
She needed to make a choice for herself.
And fight for what SHE thought was right.
Do not manipulate her.
Do not make her into something she's not.
Do not call her Lexi.
And make sure she doesn't do pot.
She needs to make a life.
She needs to gradute school.
She can be something great.
You know,
as soon as she gets her morals straight.
I love her still.
Wish it could have worked out.
Wish that the thing that was missing had appeared.
Wish that I hadn't of hurt her,
as much as I did.
So please,
just be good to her.
Tell you love her.
Tell you miss her.
Tell you're proud of everything she does.
Love her more than anything.
Don't let her escape your arms.
When she pushes away, pull her back.
Be patient with her.
She's not the most cooperative girls I met.
But she is fun.
And she has a good imagination, if she uses it well.
I feel close to tears.
So I'm going to make this quick.
I thought that writing this poem.
I thought it would have made me sick.
But I'm getting better.
I'm holding it together.
Just do me one favor. . .

but despite that, it was touching.. this was wonderful and moving. I'm sorry this happened to you, because this seems very genuine.

I'm sure whoever has her does their best to do all that you said, even before you said it. This does seem heartfelt. If they ever read this, I'm sure they'd get the message.

This is really sad, but in the same time, there is a beautiful note of acceptance and moving on within these words. Very heartfelt.
