So you wrote me a letter,
so I decided to write on back?
This also isn't a letter,
saying that I'm leaving or going away,
I'm done doing that to you because I know it hurts.
You weren't ever a bad dad, Lu.
I was the one who never let you be a dad.
I should have let you be there,
instead of constantly shutting you out.
Just as you're going to be there us,
we'll be there for you.
I loved you so much, Lucas; you really don't know.
We are your family; Alfie, Louise and even myself.
We are here to love you unconditionally no matter what.
So now that I'm done answering your letter,
I'm writing my own.
I'm so glad you're the person I have a child with,
I can't imagine anyone else being Alfie's father.
Alfie is and will be so happy to have you as a dad,
and he'll be even happier to have Effy and Byron and Lily as siblings.
I don't understand why you don't give yourself more credit.
I can tell your trying to change,
and that makes me so happy to see.
You're perfect, Lucas and I wish you could see that.
You have your flaws but everyone does; even I do.
You're such a great father too, you care about the kids and I see that.
All those reasons and more are reasons
I feel in love with you, and they are reasons
anyone would fall in love with you.
Don't change yourself too much, love.
You're perfect the way you are.
