I have almost forgotton them even though I knew they were always there.<br \/>\nI am sorry that I have fallen so low and have not cared.  I didn&#8217;t know it was happening until I saw it there in black and white on paper.  I realised I have broken a promise to you and that in itself would break my heart.  If it had not been for you I wouldn&#8217;t be where I am anyway- you gave me the chance and I haven&#8217;t done much to show that I am grateful.  I have been lazy and been sidetracked with things that are unimportant.<br \/>\nHow much I wish for things.  But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.  Maybe I should try harder, forget things and learn to focus on what should matter.  In those moments where nothing matters I loose controll and my life seems to spiral out of control&#8230;<br \/>\nI need to grab it back and I realise that. I hate I sometimes don&#8217;t have the contol to do that.<br \/>\nWhen I loose things or my mind wanders to places I try to hide the tears are powerful and sting at the back of my eyes.  Sometimes it is hard to push them back inside or wipe them away.  I have to remind myself that tears are a luxury of the weak.  I cannot afford to have weaknesses.<br \/>\nI wish you could be here to guide me when I am lost.  Because I am lost so often now.  I wish you could be here to see me grow up- maybe one day I will have worked it all out- maybe one day I will have worked hard enough to have something to be proud of.  I hope so.  I hope that you are still there and one day will still see me.  You always did see me.  Thank you.<br \/>\nI miss you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It hit me like a shock the other day wahen the words you have said to me came flooding back.
