Better than that

You are perfect the way you are. Even with all the scars, kinks and wounds that you don't wish to show me. I am sorry that sometimes I fall pray to my humanity and forget to remind you of that fact. It is so easy to get your feet twisted underneath you and while you're falling over the railing to spill drinks all over your boss, scream out profanity at the top of your lungs and take for granted the glorious row of hedges you planted in the backyard, until they break your fall that is. I cannot count the number of times I have wanted to shock myself with a taser for overlooking one of my friends or for saying the wrong thing to someone that needed encouragement. My tongue forever tastes of Reebok. People are great and when I get tied into my own version of the sitcom I forget that. Please remember how important you are to me and know that if I make a mistake this evening I will be apologizing to you by morning. I ask for your help and understanding, help me to correct myself and grow from the mistakes I make and understand that I am going to continue to make them probably for the rest of my life. I do not ask for excuse from my poor behavior, hold me accountable and require that I not make the same mistake more than at least thirty seven times, OK twice. Just know how much I treasure you and that if the mistake I create makes you feel anything less than the adorable person you are, remind me and I will take extra care to make sure that it does not happen again. I have caused the destruction of so many good relationships in my life through my inadequate skills. I do not wish the same to happen between you and I because I think the world of you.
