PREACH LOVE : Don't apologize

Sent: 9/18/2002 10:22 PM

I'm actually not sorry if the poem "You'll have to excuse me" sounds a little arrogant.

Honestly, I'm tired of apologizing for being your "idealistic". I'm tired of apologizing for believing in something beyond myself. I'm tired of apologizing for having faith.

I'm tired of apologizing for being Christian. I'm tired of apologizing for all the wrong that has been done in the name of Christianity. I'm tired of apologizing for respecting you no matter what your beliefs. I'm tired of apologizing for loving you exactly as you are. Golly, I guess I'm just tired of apologizing for being me.

...so...

No more apologies. Write me or don't. Call me or don't. Like me or don't. Criticize me or don't. Pity me or don't. Laugh at me or don't. Judge me or don't. Understand me or don't. Know me or don't. Believe me or don't. Kill me or don't. Love me or don't.

...for...

It doesn't really matter.

I love you no matter what.

That's my Reality.
