"Love" and Love


Because I love him

A friend says

I put up with his bad habits

I let him tell me I’m wrong

I let him make me feel as if I’m not important

I let myself get lost in my own sadness

I tell him I love him even when he says he hates me

All of this to make him happy

Because I love him

 

Because he doesn’t love you

I said

He yells at you for expressing your feelings

He tells you that you’re wrong because you don’t support his bad decisions

He pushes you away and says he doesn’t need you

He decides that his happiness is worth more than yours

All because he knows you won’t leave

Because you love him, but he doesn’t love you

 

Because we love each other

He and I say

We support one another

We say I love you

We know when to admit we were wrong

We know that without each other we would be lesser versions of ourselves

Because we love each other

 

Love is 

Support

Friendship and 

Happiness

 

Love is not

Hatred

Lies and

Disappointment
