Growing in Love


Because I love you.... I would do anything for you

Although Loving you I lost me.

Because I love you I put you before anything

Including me

I moved when you moved

We moved

Because I love you I forgot my self worth

Only to realize I was the prize 

My happiness resided in you

Although you caused so much heart ache and pain

But now I know better

Although you broke me I rebuilt myself up into a stronger person

Strong enough to realize my happiness was within me all along 

I know what I deserve, what everyone deserves

Genuine Love

Genuine support

Genuine Respect

And Because I loved you I learned what love was not
