I remember before...

I remember before you passed away, I said to you as you lay there, "Please don't forget me." Looking back I understand how selfish and irrational those words were. I didn't want to feel like I meant nothing to you. I was so focused on me, and only now, five years later do I understand. Even saying, "I miss you" to you makes me feel like still I can only think of myself, but how else can I express to you that now, more than ever, I am realizing what true love is all about. You, my love, loved me truly.
