Because I love you

September 26, 2017

Because I love you does not mean I have to get rid of all my friends.

Because I love you does not mean I need to change my style.

Because I love you does not mean I have to silence myself.

Because I love you does not mean I have to leave my family.

Because I love you does not mean I have to have sex.

Because I love you does not mean I have to be your maid.

Because I love you I need to love myself.
