*Apology

Thank you for your forgiveness. 
I am not fully aware of all the times
I have broken your heart these last forty-
four years.  But they are many...

Long nights where sleep never came,
you dared to walk into the the ugliest and
painful of places, where even brave men had
feared to travel.

My love for you is incredible and
will always be until I die,
and even then, that love I hold will
become absolutely pure.
