I know that I can be tough sometimes, maybe a little overbearing, but that is because I see strength in you. When I see you struggling with something, I see you can overcome it, and be better. But I also see when things are distracting you, taking you away from the real person you were becoming and for those moments, I saw happiness glow in you. I didn't want you to lose that....Just as I had for a while.
I know some things people need to experience for themselves, get those "life lessons." I've learned that it's OK for me to stand quietly on the side, not do anything, but now doing nothing seems foolish. And I never thought you couldn't handle it, I just didn't want you to continue thinking you had to alone. You're never alone.
So, you might be done with your chapter of "Erin," but I never stopped caring, loving or even liking you. I never stopped "being here" for you. I only want the best, for the best. I want you to be truly happy. Wherever you are, I always hope you find your way to exactly that.
But if it gets too dark for you sometimes to find your way home again, call me.
I'll always leave a candle lit for you to see.
