One Year Older

I turned 17 today. Thanks to everyone who went out of their way to say Happy Birthday to me, it means a lot. I didn't do much, just had a family bbq. Ran a lot of errands with my best friend ChrisTofu today as well, you're the greatest, sir. <3

I wrote this for you, but I didn't even get a chance to read it to you.

I dislike "I don't cares", I dislike "it's whatevers"
I know that time apart wont make things between us better
I look forward to your phone calls every single night
Hope you'll call me baby, give in and make things all right
All I want is love, it takes two to make us grow
We've been through things that no one else will ever know
You bring me to my highest and lift me from my lows
And that's just one example of how we grew to be so close
I know at times I can be a handful, everybody has their ways
I could be sensitive, I could have my days
But no one said relationships will ever go your way
At times I drive you crazy, and those times when I'm so slow
We tear eachother down, rebuild, and then we grow
Go through so much, we crash and then we burn
We figure our things out, we laugh and we learn
Now we ain't perfect, it was stated from the start
But I know that you're worth it, I can feel it in my heart
It's TRUTHbeTOLD that I'm into you
When you're gone and far away I'm missing you
And when I'm with you, I'm invincible
You see, I'm writing down this poem, just to let you know
That I mean it when I say, I don't plan on letting go
I'm gonna hold on to what I say and stick to my words
Things that go wrong, out of hand and so absurd
But this is a two way effort, it needs a YOU and ME
You need to want and work for it, things like these are not free
I play my part, you play yours, that's what we need
Don't give it up so easily, that's what I plead

Today wasn't your greatest, and that's understandable, things came up, it's cool. I'm not mad, I know how you feel. Disappointed, frustrated, annoyed, mad, sad, all at the same time. It's a lot to take in, that's why I just wanted to ease your mind. You know I got your back, and that's all I'm trying to do, help you. Stop being so hard on yourself. Went to eat, so our plans didn't go according to plan? You were there, and I was there, isn't that all that matters? Sure, our plans didn't go the way we wanted, I'm not mad, I'm not disappointed, I'm just glad I got to be with you on my day. And now something's up and I don't even know what it is. Telling me all these things, are you trying to tell me something? If that's what you want, I told you to just be straight up with it. I don't know what to say, I don't need a lot, I don't ask for a lot, I just ask for you and your lovin. That's it..now I don't know even know if I should. I'm not so quick to give us up. That's not my first option, even through it all, why do I still want to fight for us? Why? I want to, it's not even close to being because I feel like I should, but I want to. I refuse to give up so easily. But if that's wrong, tell me, tell it to me straight.
