Stand Stronger


I keep time aside for you,

I want you to feel important,

I give you attention you deserve,

Because I love you.

I don't leave you hurt,

I ask what's wrong,

I fix what's broken ,

Because I love you.

When I don't like your actions,

I don't leave my thoughts inside,

I tell you,

Because I love you.

I don't tell you who to talk to,

I don't tell you who to not talk to,

I don't force my opinions on you,

Because I love you.

I listen to you when you feel discouraged,

I push you to be the best version of yourself,

I want you to be able to stand stronger with or without me,

Because I love you.
