Healthy


Because I love you

I will give you my password

But hope you never feel

the need

to use it.

I will introduce you to my friends

So you never

have to worry

that I am hiding something

from you.

We will grow together

and we will grow separately

So I will encourage you

to find hobbies

that you are interested in

Even if I am not.

I will not put you down

for liking things I don't

Because you are you

and I love that.

I will use all my power

to make sure that

you have

what you need.

And if ever it is time

for you

to move on

I will support you

I will miss you

But I will love us both

enough

to let you choose that.

We will be stable

enough

to choose each other

but also to choose

ourselves.
