But He Loves Me

September 13, 2017

Why do you stay?

"Because I love him."

The cuts on your legs don't look like love.

"They're my fault, not his."

If he loved you, he wouldn't make you feel like you had to do that...

Love is being there for someone.

Love is caring for someone over yourself.

Love doesn't make you hurt yourself.

Why can't you leave him?

"Because he loves me."
