Because I love you

I do not love the things you do 

But I do love you

I do not love the way you hurt me 

I do not love the way your words cut and destroy me

I do not love the way you say that you love me

But I do love you 

 

I love you enough to know that I have to love myself

Because one of us has to 

I love you enough to know that I deserve the same love I give to you

 

I want laughter

I want compliments

I want you to mean it when you say "I love you"

 

Because I love you- I know that you dont love me back
