I am probably going to fall apart a time or two. Bear with me. Because in the times when you are weak and your legs will no longer hold the weight that you carry, I will come along side you and carry your burdens on my back.
There is a 100 percent chance that I will fail you at some point. Stick it out through my mistakes. Because in the times where you are feeling like you can do no right, I will remind you of the obstacles you have overcome and the successes you have achieved.
You just might be crazy if you think that at all times my hair will be perfectly curled and my clothes pristine and of the utmost fashion. Tolerate my often too big sweats paired with my ketchup stained t-shirts, and some kind of slipshod knot on top my head. Trust me - do this. I will love you all the same whether you're in your suit and tie or your basketball shorts that nearly fall off and your old worn high school baseball t-shirt with that hole in the left armpit.
At times my mood swings will get the better of me. I’ll scream, cry or both. Please ride out the storm. Because in the times when you just want to punch the wall or retreat into yourself, I will try my very hardest to be just what you need. A shoulder. A hug. Silence.
I just know that now and again I will grow insecure in myself and in us. Know that it is nothing you have done, and assure me that whatever it is I’m sure has changed has not. Shoulder the creeping thoughts in my head because of the boys who have come and gone before you. Because in the times that you are certain that you are undeserving of all things good, and thoughts of worthlessness find their way into your mind, I will emphasize all the amazing that you are in my eyes.
I need you to know that we are certain to fail each other a time or two. We will most definitely disagree, and arguments are bound to happen. It’s important that you understand that adjusting to you is something that I will more than happily work hard at. If I have taken on the responsibility and honor of becoming your girlfriend, know that I cherish that title with utmost regard.
If I have decided to begin a relationship with you, you are extremely special to me. Even though I will put all the effort I have into your happiness, I will without a doubt be the reason for your stress at times. If you’ve taken on the responsibility of “boyfriend” in my life, I will work every day to make our relationship one you adore. So please, do not let my shortcomings scare you away. I am imperfect, but I will love you as perfectly as I know how if only you’ll allow me.
