#BecauseILoveYou

 

Instead of clipping your wings

I will let you fly

When we argue, I will listen

Instead of letting our romance die

 

When a text from your ex comes through

I won’t just assume you lie

An Instagram “like” or a Twitter “RT”

To me is harmless, I won’t pry

 

If things get intimate I will respect your boundaries-

After all, we can all be a little shy

And on days when you are not feeling 100%

I will be there for you, feel free to cry...

 

I will reassure you that your feelings are valid,

There is no need to desist.

 

I will love you endlessly--

But will not rule with an iron fist-

Because I know how that feels

With cold knuckles I have been kissed

 

Trust I will give you generously

And let down my walls if you insist

To me you’ll be a celebrity

On the top of the A-list

I will always cheer you on,

I won’t try to resist.

 

With me you will not have to live in fear

For I have felt all the pain in the world my dear,

Emotional rollercoasters had me blear-

You will not experience that with me, in case I was unclear

 

My fragile heart still has love to give

If you can respect that, happily ever after we can live.
