Y do I always say things that I don’t mean. Y do I always hurt the one most dear unintentionally.
Y must I always act so rash and impulsive. I don’t mean I deserve to be forgiven but I hope certain things can be overlooked.
I try to accept your flaws, I try to make myself better, but I don’t seem to see much will on your part to improve the current situation.
Of course there are positive values in you too, like being tolerant enough to bear with me and keep up with my childishness.
But sometimes your stubbornness and ego refuses to budge too and that’s what normally pushes me over the edge, to push you away or to say hurtful words.
It always seems that parting with you makes me realize my mistakes. It’s always the distance apart from you that wakes me up and makes me feel sad and remorseful.
No doubt we share certain happy moments together but suddenly the similarity between us seems to be the factor that’s driving us apart.
We don’t sing the same tune all the time, but we do share very similar traits and personalities.
I think we both expect a lot from each other though we always say we don’t. We tend to hurt each other unintentionally because we don’t phrase our words carefully enough.
We accept the fact that things are going fairly well between us but we hope that it could be better. We are affected immensely by simple acts or words made by the other.

What more can be done I do not know, but I wish that things will just stop being complicated all the time. I guess I miss you more than you know it, and I long to spend every moment with you.

"Never forget. Each of your words is like a feather in the wind. Once spoken, no amount of effort, regardless how heartfelt or sincere, can ever return them to your mouth. Choose your words well, and guard them most of all in the presence of those you love."

"There is death and life in the power of the tongue."Your encouraging words can lift someone up and help them make it through the day. Your destructive words can cause deep wounds; they may be the weapons that destroy someone's desire to continue trying -- or even their life.Your destructive, careless word can diminish someone in the eyes of others, destroy their influence and have a lasting impact on the way others respond to them. Be careful what you say. Speak life to (and about) those who cross your path. There is enormous power in words. If you have words of kindness, praise or encouragement -- speak them now to, and about, others. Listen to your heart and respond.

Your Tongue
It is a helpful toolThat is used as a dangerous weaponIt is so lightYet we fail to hold itInstead of using it as a magic wandTo tap a bit of encouragement upon ones heartOr a smile upon ones faceWe use it as a sword to cut people downLeaving their hearts brokenAnd their self-esteem low
Unlike the marks of physical abuse which will heal, the damage from verbal abuse can compound to cause serious emotional damage to its victim. Anger, depression, and low self-esteem can be products of verbal abuse. And they can last a lifetime. But not every hurtful word will cause the same type of pain. Something said by a stranger won't have nearly the effect as the same thing said by someone you trust, someone you love, someone you want to please, someone you want to like you—a parent, your spouse, a best friend, an employer. Because the words come from someone you respect you take them to heart and begin to believe they're true.
