Because I Love You, I Will...


Because I love you, I will respect you as you respect me.

Because I love you, I will never lie to you, not even when the truth is hard.

Because I love you, I will remind you every time you feel you aren't worthy of it, and give you space when things get too much.

Because I love you, I will help you make decisions, not make them for you.

Because I love you, I will never ask you to do something you know you can't.

Because I love you, I will always communicate with you.

Because I love you, I will always try to make sure you are safe.

Because I love you, I will never ask you to change, unless you're hurting yourself or someone else.

Because I love you, I will never stop, even when I hate you.

Because I love you, I will pray that you love me the same.

But because I love you, I know I don't have to.
