Respect


I trust in you, in hopes of you relying on me.

I disclose everything to you, in hopes of you being open with me.

I communicate how I feel clearly, in hopes of your time being given to me.

I do this because I love you, in hopes of you loving me.

 

You are not always honest, but I forgive you.

You do not always tell me everything, but I forgive you.

You do not always let me know how you feel, but I forgive you.

I do this because I love you, in hopes of you loving me.

 

You say they are just a friend, so I leave you.

You say you you will not do it again, so I leave you.

You say that it's all my fault, so I leave you.

I do this because I love you, in hopes of you loving me.
