I Choose Me

Because I love you, I always choose you. 

I choose you before my homework 

Before work 

Before my family and friends. 

Because I love you I put you before myself. 

When we're arguing and you're wrong I "stay in my place." 

Because I love you, I do what you ask of me. 

I block him, 

I delete my post, 

I restrain from wearing shorts and dresses, 

I take your hand to my cheek, 

Your feet to my side, 

All because I love you. 

Because I love you I'm afraid to lose you so I want to keep you happy. 

Even if it means sacrificing my own. 

Even if it means never choosing me. 

Because I love you our arguments should really be disagreements. 

Just because I love you doesn’t mean you should come before my priorities. 

Just because I love you does not mean I should make excuses for you. 

Love does not make you right when you're wrong. 

Love is not controlling or overbearing 

Love is patient. 

Love is trusting. 

Love is kind. 

Because I love you, I choose me.
