Loving you, losing you
It took me so long to love you...
I was so afraid to love you because if I loved you, then I'd lose you.
Ever since I first started loving you, I've felt you slipping out of my grasp.
I feel like I'm losing you now and I'm trying to hold you ever closer.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry that I've let you down.
I'm so sorry for what I've become.
I'm not perfect, and this is definitely the worst side of me.
Please put a bit of faith in me.
I love you.

William Safire’s Rules for Writers
Remember to never split an infinitive.
The passive voice should never be used.
Do not put statements in the negative form.
Verbs have to agree with their subjects.
Proofread carefully to see if you words out.
If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
A writer must not shift your point of view.
And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
(Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with.)
Don't overuse exclamation marks!!
Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their antecedents.
Writing carefully,dangling participles must be avoided.
If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing metaphors.
Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Everyone should be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their writing.
Always pick on the correct idiom.
The adverb always follows the verb.
Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.
