Healthy Love

A healthy relationship isnt getting gifts

its not keeping me inside cause you dont want me to leave

its not peering over my shoulder watching my every move

its not only giving me flowers after you left a bruise on my soul.

You battered me and pushed me around 

you held me hostage by my own heart.

and then i let go.

i was free

and just like that i learned:

love is freedom

love is holding my hand and keeping me safe

love is staying through thick and thin.

love is leaving little notes for me to find

love is caring for me

loving me unconditionally 

listening to my thoughts and concerns

making sure i do no harm 

and most imoportantly

love is..

keeping my heart safe

because love is me being able to give you my heart

and trusting you to hold it for me

Everyone deserves this type of love

no matter how bruised and beat up your heart is

love is putting someones heart back together no matter how messed up it is

love is love.
