The healthiest relationship


Because I love you 

I stayed with you for years 

To convince you to be with me 

And yet you always turned me down 

But I'm still here 

Because something inside of me tells me to stay 

Staying with you 

A loveless person 

But my heart skips a beat every time I see your face 

I long for the moment of our lips together 

Even though it may never happen 

Because I love you 

I'll stay up late 

With my tear stained pillow 

Telling you how perfect you are 

Because your girlfriend forgot your birthday 

Tell me you love me 

I'm waiting 

I'll wait for you. 

 

The one day I won't wait for you 

Is the day I learn to love myself 

The day I learn to walk away 

Is the day I get over you 

The day I don't care that you hooked up with another girl 

Is the day I move on from you 

To someone that cares about me 

In ways I can't explain in any words except 

Love. 

Someone to love me and have the sweetest touch 

And the kindest kiss 

Because they know I am the only one 

And maybe with him 

I'll love myself 

And that's the healthiest relationship you can have
