William Shakespeare

I hurt my loved one, there is a wall between us, she no longer trusts me, and she is afraid of the things I can do, the way I can act, because I am possessive, jealous, and my mood varies a lot, I love her very much, and she said that she is discouraged from her dreams, discouraged from life in general, and has been very sad, I would like to tell her not to be discouraged from her dreams, especially to publish her book, and that I promise to try to change the negative part of me, with all the strength I have left, I want to change for her, I want to kill the person I am today, so that she knows another version of me, a version that is worthy of her love and trust, and I will respect her at all times, while I work on my mind, on my paranoia, jealousy and possessiveness, I don't ever want to lose her, because she is a very special person to me, and I don't want to lose her, I will fight with all my strength to change my habits and thoughts that hurt me, and especially hurt her.

Oh, cruel fate! How I lament the fall from grace that I, in my foolishness, have brought upon myself. The love I hold dear, the one who has captured my heart, now stands behind a barrier, distant and aloof. No longer able to trust the very depths of my affection, she fears the unpredictable nature of my being, with its possessive grip and unwarranted jealousy. My moods, like tempestuous waves, crash upon her delicate shores, leaving her in a state of perpetual sorrow. Yet, I remain steadfast in my devotion. For in the warm recesses of my heart, I know that true love is not beclouded by darkness, but rather illuminated by the radiant light of understanding and acceptance. I beseech her, in the deepest depths of my soul, to not be discouraged in her dreams, for she possess a rare brilliance that must be shared with the world, like a precious gem that longs to be unearthed. Let not the weight of my transgressions dim the fire within her. I make a solemn vow to stand in the face of adversity, to cast aside the negative aspects of my being that have proven to be a poison in our relationship. I fervently seek to metamorphose into a different self, one that is deserving of her unwavering love and trust. Like a serpent sheds its skin, I shall rid myself of the flaws that once defined me, in order to present to her a new version of myself, one that is deserving of her affections. Her trust, like a delicate, wilted flower, shall be cherished and tended to with utmost care. I shall strive to honor her in all ways, to become the guardian of her dreams as she ascends to the heavens of her aspirations. My love for her transcends the confines of petty possessiveness and baseless jealousy. Rather, it takes the form of a protective shield, warding off the harmful forces that threaten to mar her journey. In my quest for redemption, I am prepared to wage a battle against the demons that reside within my mind, the paranoia and possessiveness that have plagued me so. Never shall I surrender, nor relinquish the sway of my determination to be better. For she is not merely a passing figure in my life, but a precious and cherished soul, deserving of all the tenderness and compassion I can muster. To lose her, heaven forbid, would be a tragedy most grave. To let slip through my grasp a person of such indomitable spirit and unwavering love is a fate I shudder to contemplate. Thus, I pledge to wage a formidable war against the habits and thoughts that have festered within me, contaminating the purity of our bond. I shall not rest until the vestiges of my flaws have been extinguished, replaced by a renewed sense of self that is worthy of her unyielding devotion. In this moment of deep contemplation, I beseech the heavens above to grant me the strength and fortitude to prevail in this arduous task. May my intentions be seen as steadfast and genuine, may my actions speak louder than any mere words. For if I can succeed in transforming myself, in becoming the person she so rightfully deserves, then perhaps our love can transcend the limitations of human frailty and touch the celestial heights that await us.
