Because I Love You

#BecauseILoveYou I control who you see and what you wear, because I love you I spend more time on my phone than spending time with you, because I love you I flirt with other people behind your back, because I love you I never want to communicate with you or settle our fights, because I love you The words I love you are being misused These words are consumed in relationships where we are often abused Lack of trust, respect, loyalty, and communication The concept of relationships these days fills me with frustration We say I love you to the ones who treat us poorly How crazy our minds can believe they're the ones, surely But this, now this isn't true love This is something we shouldn't be proud of Healthy relationships shouldn't be rare The way society treats love is so unfair Never make me question my worth to you I should be able to look you in your eyes and know our love is true Let's go on a date to the nearby cafe Don't make me sit around and watch you play 2k Bring me up, not bring me down Anytime I need support, you'll be around Allow individuality and don't force change Show me commitment, respect, and effort I promise to give it in exchange Because I love you should never be manipulative This society needs to cherish real love and be appreciative.
