Did you get home safe last night?

Why?

Because I love you.

Call me when you get to your destination.

Why?

Because I love you.

Do you need anything? Someone to talk to or have as company?

Why?

Because I love you.

These things and so much more create a healthy relationship. Not large, extravagent actions, but small, simple ones.

Not just a romantic relationship. A platonic one. A work one. A family one. Healthy relationships that don't restrict the one you love. Relationships that give you room to breathe, while also making sure you're safe and happy. 

Relationships aren't about control and who is in power. It's an equal balance of respect, love, and compassion. It's trust that letting them go out with friends mean they'll be safe and back home later. It's the support during difficult times, and not tearing them down, blaming it on them. It's the love during their acomplisments, praising them and pushing them to do even brighter things.

It's all of this and more.

Why?

Because I love you.
