This you know.<\/p>\n<p>A little bit of love goes a long way with him. Others understand that, but you learnt the hard way. A grin so genuine it\u2019s infectious; a heart so pure despite its past wounds; and a resolve so strong that it\u2019s heartbreaking. Heartbreaking only because of you, and how &#8211; as a result of your actions \u2013 you\u2019ve only served to strengthen his resolve to unjustifiable lengths.<\/p>\n<p>Well, not unjustifiable to him. Only to you.<\/p>\n<p>But to him you\u2019ll always be worth it. He won\u2019t give up. He won\u2019t admit failure a second time.<\/p>\n<p>Not for you.<\/p>\n<p>You and he both know that there\u2019s no need for concern. After all, it\u2019s inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s never asked for much.
