Yes,
I admit
I haven't been present to have known you need me
And
Perhaps I've wasted some time trying turn you into someone else
Someone I never got to know
but wanted to be

I've been mean and absent to serve you the love you deserve

the applauds I rendered to the best I thought,
pass you by

Who would be this kind to stay by me despite?
Through it all
there was hope riding within
that someday..
I will return and reside where I always need to be

You may not always have it all, or
Be it all,
but you are the gift I've always wanted to have,
And I promise to feed you the love you need,
To own your worth as you become the best of youself every testing period
and passing time

There's no best in the absence of the best..
And that's me!
