guide to a healthy relationship


a guide to a healthy relationship.

harsh words are covered up with "i'm sorry".

hands are held, not thrown. 

tears are wiped, smiles are plastered. 

angry "i hate yous" are turned into late-night, soft "i love yous".

jealousy is hidden away by the comfort of each other's arms. 

their bodies decay, minds grow wary. 

but their love for each?

never fades away.
