Love Is

"Because I love you" 

is not permission to hurt me on purpose. 

"Because I love you"

means not needing your permission to do what I want.

A healthy relationship is

loving,

trusting,

commiting,

understanding,

being honest with, and

being there for each other.

I shouldn't need to be careful

about what I wear when I go out

in fear of what you might say

or

what I say, whether you're around or not,

in case you get jealous or take it the wrong way.

"Because I love you"

we take care of each other,

love each other,

want each other to achieve happiness, and

help each other realize what we really want.

That's what love is.
