Because I love you: I will be supportive

Because I love you: I will be kind

Because I love you: I will make you feel loved

Because I love you: I will tell you the things you need to hear that are hard to say

Because I love you: I will be honest

Because I love you: I will make you part of my family

Because I love you: I will share my life and world with you

This is my promise to you, because I love you.

Because you love me: you won’t ask me to be less

Because you love me: you will meet me in the middle

Because you love me: you will be supportive

Because you love me: you will be patient

Because you love me: you will be kind

Because you love me: you will be considerate

Because you love me: you will soften the harsh edges of your words

Because you love me: you will hold my hand

Because you love me: you will be dependable and reliable

Because you love me: you won’t pressure me

Because you love me: you will give me what I give you

Because you love me: you will leave when we outgrow each other

Because you love me: you will tell me when things no longer work

Because you love me: you will help me grow even if you do not stay

Because you love me, you will give me room to be my own person without you.

Because I love you doesn’t mean forever and always.

Because I love you means I promise to stay for as long as I can.

Because I love you sometimes means leaving.
