Back to the Basics of Love
Healthy relationships are uniform
All the same to make authentic and true
Trouble fits no one mold; there is no norm
Defeated and hopeless; unsure what to do
It is hard to stand up, hard to refuse
We accept an apologetic "I Love You"
Manipulation of those words confuse
What pure, self-less, honest love strives to do:
Love supports, surrounding us with shared trust
Love respects; wary of each boundary
Love communicates--to endure it must
Love inspires, giving us new goals to reach
Let's define the love that grows us, anew
Take back what it means to say "I Love You"
