A Healthy Relationship

November 2, 2017

I don’t cheat because I love you

I don’t demand to know where you’ve been because I trust you

I don’t call you a bitch behind your back because I respect you

I don’t stand you up on a date because every second I get to spend with you is a blessing

I don’t take you for granted because you deserve better than that

I don’t hit you because I am a decent human being

I do love you

I do trust you

I do respect you

I do love spending time with you

I do know that I can’t mess this one up

I do treat you right so that our love is strong
