i love you
i can't bring myself to tell it to you in your face
i'm too proud, and yet too shy
so if you happened to come across this journal of mine
know that this is how i feel towards you
i know that you love me unconditionally
and actually, i feel the same way
although there were times when we fought and ignored each other
and there were times when the love was expressed in other ways
"remember to bring an umbrella, it's gonna rain" - me to you
"have you booked an appointment with the doctor?" - you to me
"let's have dinner together" - me to you
"sleep early" - you to me
i want to thank you for sharing your life with me
i know that i can never fully reciprocate your love
perhaps i have hurt you in more ways than one
because i'm imperfect, but you're still proud of me
so let me put it in writing
and i can always remind myself
of the love you have for me
and that i do love you, mum
