Love Is
Because I love you, you should let me undress you
Because I love you, you should trust my word against theirs
Because I love you, show me your phone, give me your password
Because I love you, spend time with me, not them
Because I love you, you should be I'll leave every time you fuck up
Because I love you, calm down, I was just kidding
Because I love you, you should skip that family dinner and stay here with me
Because I love you, I want to have you in tears when we fight
Because I love you, why are you even looking at her
Because I love you, why won't you answer your phone
Because I love you, if you leave me I'll go back to putting the scars on my arms
Because I love you, let me put my hands on your body
Because I love you, you're lucky to have me
Every day, people are manipulated into thinking this is love, but it's not
Love is I will respect your body like it's a temple
Love is I will never lie to you
Love is I don't need your password, I trust you
Love is giving you the space you need
Love is never threatening to leave, even when a mistake is made
Love is never prentending like insulting you is okay
Love is go to that family dinner, and take me with you I miss them
Love is working through our fights and arguements together and coming out stronger
Love is it's okay, I know you're her friend, I'm not worried
Love is it's alright baby I know that you're busy
Love is thank you for helping me out of that dark place
Love is let me get a grip on your beautiful mind
Love is I'm lucky to have you
