When I was a kid I asked, “How are babies made?” My mom responded, “Go back to your room.” I asked why but all I got Was a make-face. When I was in grade school I asked, “Is there something wrong with me?” My big brother-cousin responded, “Yeah. Put powder on your face.” I asked why.

You don't know how deep those words are for me. I rarely say that phrase, but for you I'm making an exception. I love you and I'm striving to be perfect for you. I love you and I want you to trust me when I tell you I do. I love you and I will always trust you when you tell me you do, too.
