For When I'm Better or Worse, Baby It's You

For Omar, I love you baby!

Sometimes you make me crazy
With the little things you do.
Like when you bring home
groceries with a broken
egg or two.

In all these years together
you'd think I would adjust,
To a raised
toilet seat
at night when I get up.

We buy plenty of toilet paper
always at the store,
so why is it that
I never find any
on the roll.

And yet I'm ever grateful
for the gift God gave to me,
Thankful that you stuck it out
through my insanity.

Yes,
I realize
that mostly I'm the one
Who causes all the aggravation,
who sucks out all the fun.

I know I make things harder
then they should have to be;
that I fail to focus
on the gravity.

I'm not sure why
when things are good,
I sink into this hole
Why I push and push at you
hoping that you'll go.
It's just for that black moment
when I can't seem to cope
Just for a passing instant when
I've lost a little hope.

 

How is it that I'm so blessed,
what did I ever do?
To deserve a heart as beautiful as you.

 

For all the times I made you nuts, I apologize.
For all the times I've lost my mind, and yet you still were kind.
I raise my glass in honor of you and all that you have done.
But mostly just to tell you that I'm blessed you are the one.

OMG!!!!! This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read!!!! Not because you're apologizing, but I
love your recognition of not only his flaws, but your own, and to have the insight to express then, say you're sorry, and appreciate "Omar", is sooooooooo beautiful! That's what I think love and commitment is suppose to be about! This was great! I hope Omar knows how lucky he is to have a heart as beautiful as you! I'm snapping my fingers in applause!!!!

Awww...this is sweet. this just shows how love is when it's in its truest form. One is able to accept the flaws of their beloved. This was really sweet. Thanx for sharing.
