Put Her First (My Apology) As a man I’ve been told that I’m never to fail. I’ve been told that I am to be the head of the family, to provide, protect and lead them. I’ve been told that the world is mine to do with it what I wish. I’ve been told that I’m never to show emotion because it is a sign of weakness. Here I am, going on a limb because I think it is about time you heard the truth. I am sorry for all the times I come off as arrogant, sorry for all the times I doubted you, sorry for all the times I told you lies, sorry for all the times I acted in anger and rage, sorry for all the times I never gave you compliments, sorry for all the times I let my ego get in the ways, sorry for all the times I put others before you, sorry for all the times I let things get in our way and sorry for not putting you first I AM SORRY! Even though I fail to show you, being around you has made me realize how important you are. Even though I tend to ignore you at times, thinking about you is what I do all the time. Even though you never see this, standing next to you, standing next to me gives me the courage to proceed. Even though I ‘seem’ to never listen to your advice, speaking to you has made me realize how much I value your opinion. Even though you pretend to be so tough, touching you has made me realize how fragile you are. Even though I’m not the funniest and I can be random at times, hearing you laugh has made me realize how much you are willing to tolerate me. Even though we talk crap most of the time, listening to you has made me realize how wise you are Even though I hardly tell you that I love you, telling you I hate you is a mission I never want God to assign to me. Even though you think I’ve had enough, looking at you has made me realize that you are a mirror of me, with strengths and weaknesses. You are my equal. Even though you tell me all the time, I sometimes forget that you are not perfect. Seeing you cry makes me happy. I get how that statement confuses you. Seeing you cry makes me happy because it reminds me that you are human and not the super woman I think you to be because you are always supporting me. Don’t get me wrong, I like seeing you cry but I don’t like being the reason behind your tears and I hate not being able to wipe them away. I’ve been told that I could do everything in my power to make her happy but I lose her in the end, I guess it is because I would’ve failed to put her first. I admit that we aren’t the best fathers, the best leaders, the best of friends, the best of listeners, the best of lovers or even the best to love her… We are humans after all and we make mistakes but most of us are willing to learn and change. If Her doesn’t like the way things are going, tell us how to love her…tell us how to love you. Teach us how to put you first.
