Through The Noise

To the Man I Have Loved First

You told me I'm your princess and she is your queen. You said that someday, I would be someone's queen, too, and you hope that he would be just like you—as determined as you when it comes to protecting and making me happy.

But for all the times you've hurt her, I'm sorry, I don't think I could ever be a queen to a king like you.

Love,
Your daughter

P.S. I didn't know that it was possible to love your father with all your heart but still wish to not end up with someone like him. Were you like that to your father? Or to your mother, perhaps?

P.P.S. You might not know this but you taught me not to trust men. I'm thanking you for that.
