Because i love you


Because I love you, you should pay for everything I ask for.
Because I love you, you should stop talking to your best friend.
Because  I love you, I will check your phone
not because I don't love you but because I don't trust you.
 
Because I love you, I'll keep you locked inside your house because outside is full of temptation.
because I love you, I'll manipulate your every decision.
Our relationship is toxic, more toxic than Arsenic.
Our relationship is a fast-acting poison. 
Our relationship came to an end because I couldn't see that I was slowly killing you.
I couldn't see that our relationship wasn't healthy.
But because of you, my new relationship is healthy. I've learned to not love people the way I loved you.
 
I've learned to trust and communicate.
because of you, I've learned to listen more.
because of you, I've learned to love with my heart and not with my insecurities.
