What it Means to be Healthy

Because I love you

Means giving up time

Means listening well

Means a heart that rhymes

 

Because I love you

Means an earlier shower

So he doesn’t sleep on wet pillows

Late in the hour

 

Because I love you

Means turning off your phone

Closing a book,

Pulling out your headphones

 

Because I love you

I work on me

I support you

I root for us

 

Because I love you

Should be said dripping with love

Should be said often

Should fit like a glove

 

We say it when we make jokes

We use it as an excuse

But we should use it the way it’s meant to be used

 

Because I love you
