What I want #BecauseILoveYou

Words have meaning,

When held dear,

So watch your words,

As they breath to someone's ear.

 

Don’t tell me I'm an object,

Under different consent.

So don’t be content,

With because I love you.

 

I hold your feelings dear,

But I shouldn’t have to say where,

I am at all times,

And have you think I lie

 

Don’t tell me who I'm friends with.

You should know that my intent is,

Not to hurt or misdemean you,

And never to deceive you.

 

So trust in me my dear,

And step away from fear,

By facing it directly,

As you would face me with your own.

 

Talk to me, talk to me,

Tell me your troubles,

Don’t shy away and live in a bubble

Don't hide away and drown in the rubble..

From ruined relationships of the past.

We walk together in honesty,

Have faith and integrity,

Believe in sincerity,

And live in security.

 

That’s real love,

At least to me,

I want someone who shares my goals,

And shares my dreams.

 

Who finds fault in me,

And points it out,

Then helps me fix the seams.

 

So don’t say because I love you,

Because I do not care,

For one more stupid rule,

Made out of surreal fear.

 

Instead just say I love you,

Because you're genuine and kind,

And look for every silver lining,

That you can keep in mind.
