My thoughtlessness towards you haunts me.
You gave me everything and moved me forward.
Even when I knew nothing about where we were going.
I am now so grateful for all the pressure you held,
for all the times you pushed me through the darkness and filled my chest with joy.
Maybe you are tired, you are definitely wounded
and apparently always have been.
Yet I forced you forward with carelessness.
You prevailed with grace.
Tomorrow I will ask you for another hard day.
You must be the bravest you have ever been.
I ask you this as one last favour.
And I promise to, forever after, be careful and conscious of you.
I promise to cherish you, feed you, and take care of you.
I will not take you for granted.
I will work with you to keep you light and fast.
Clean and strong.
Please be strong, thank you for everything.
