If you engage me in conversation, <br />I will tell you what I think, <br />If you ask me for my opinion, <br />I will give it, <br />If I ask for yours, <br />It's because I really want to hear it, <br />If you have something to say, <br />I will listen, <br />If it's a secret, <br />I won't tell another soul, <br />If you tell me an untruth, <br />I will call you on it, <br />If you do something to hurt me, <br />I will let you know, <br />And if it's sincere, <br />I will accept your apology, <br />And forgive you, <br />Know that I am true blue, <br />And I am not afraid of the truth, <br />Even if it hurts, <br />Know that I am as real, <br />As any sunrise or sunset, <br />If I hurt you by error, <br />Tell me and, <br />I will apologize and do my best <br />To never do it again, <br />I am not perfect, <br />And I know this, <br />If I tell you I love you, <br />It's because I really do, <br />If I give you a gift, <br />It came from my heart, <br />When I go to sleep at night, <br />I am comfortable with the day I've lived, <br />I have no regets, <br />I don't look back, <br />Or carry my sorrows in a sack, <br />I am secure in who I am, <br />I love who I am, <br />Yet I am not vain, <br />I am a mother, <br />I am a daughter, <br />I am a sister, <br />I am an Aunt, <br />I am a friend, <br />I am a lover to someone who loves me, <br />I am me, <br />What you see is what you get. <br /> <br />2012<br /><br />Victoria Gauci<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/true-blue-9/
