Love and Trust


A healthy relationship means we are both happy in this.

It’s not a burden.

It’s amazing, It’s wanted.

The downs are worth it because they build up the relationship.

Yes, the rough patches are worth it,

Because I love you.

“Because I love you” isn’t an excuse, It’s a reason.

 

You come home upset, ready to rant.

It’s the same, “he said, she said.”

I don’t understand, I don't get it,

But I listen.

Because I love you.

Times have been rough.

Days have been stressful.

I go all out and beyond!

Your favorite foods all in front of you with Netflix.

“But...Why?”

Because I love you.

In fact, I love you so much

Let’s put on that movie I hate, but you love it.

Because I love you.

 

I will hold your hand.

I will kiss you goodnight.

I WILL make sure you feel loved.

Because I love you.

 

There is no need to invade.

There is no need to investigate.

Because I trust you.

 

You are away and I’m home.

It’s been hours since we’ve last spoken

I send, “I love you.”

Because I miss you.

 

A healthy relationship allows sadness

Anger

But that’s not the majority.

What relationship is 100% filled with happy moments?

A healthy relationship is when each person in the relationship can say “yes” when asked,

“Are you happy in this relationship?”

And that, even when the road is bumpy

It IS worth it,

Because I love you.
