Because I love myself.


He said in a serious tone

"I don't want you to wear that

I don't want you to talk to him

I don't want you to go there

I want you to myself

because I love you too much."

She replied with sadness

"Okay, I won't wear that

I won't talk to him 

I won't go out there

I will do all of this for you

because I love you."

Months go by, with rules set in place

Friends ask why she has changed

She come up with excuses

She says, "I'm still the same"

But she knows something is wrong

She's not completely happy

So she calls him with a serious tone

"I cannot do this anymore

I want to wear my favorite shorts,

I want to talk to my guy friend,

I want to go out with my friends.

I've had enough.

Im not ending this because I don't love you

But because I love myself."
