To my sister, from a survivor

If he is possessive not protective

Get out

If he makes you feel more bad than good

Get out

If he is your poison and your medicine

Get out

If he does not talk about the future with you

Get out

If  he does not respect you

Get out

If you have to lie about him to your friends and family

Get out

If he pushes you instead of pushing you to be your best self

Get out

If he laughs at you when you express your feelings

Get out

If he uses sex as a weapon

Get out

If texting feels like a game, that means there is always a loser so

Get out

If he doesn’t treat you like you would want your own daughter to be treated

Get out

If he doesn’t trust you

If he doesn’t respect you

If you don’t trust him

If you don’t respect him

Get out

Get out, get out, get out

Get out because I love you

Get out because

If he is protective not possessive

If he makes you feel more good than bad

If he is your medicine not your poison

If he talks about the future with you

If he respects you

If you can’t stop talking about him to your friends and family

If he pushes you to be your best self

If he listens when you express your feelings

If sex is consensual

If texting him is natural

If he treats you like you would want a man to treat your own daughter

If he trusts you

If he respects you

If you trust him

If you respect him

Then you have found love

I tell you this and remind you this everyday

Because I love you
