#BecauseILoveYou

 

Possibly honest, honestly

How can I love you if I don’t trust you?

Untrue words make for great swords.

And I’m trying to figure out friendship and what it’s for, please don’t use my back as a cutting board.

Also be the original you, ight? Because I'll be thinking these signals through.

How can I respect your intent if you’re not being one hundred percent.

Just tell what's up, I'm sure I’ll understand, if we can tell each other what's on our minds, at least most of the time? I think we’ll be doing just fine.

Keep your mind open to my exposes, you don't have to act like an ocean, but at least try things, and be next to me when I'm coping.

If you try to understand me, I'll reciprocate the effort,

Then we are equals, see how much that measures.

We don't have to like everything about each other, just respect that this is what I'm like, What I like, my mind, my side.

From the start I’m a ride or die, please just try.

As soon as I begin to struggle and I might cave, will you fade?

If so that's feeling like a switchblade.

Just be true, organic, there, fair, aware, calm instead of manic, educated, and motivated and our relationship can be dynamic.
