What it Means to be Healthy
Because I love you
Means giving up time
Means listening well
Means a heart that rhymes
Because I love you
Means an earlier shower
So he doesn’t sleep on wet pillows
Late in the hour
Because I love you
Means turning off your phone
Closing a book,
Pulling out your headphones
Because I love you
I work on me
I support you
I root for us
Because I love you
Should be said dripping with love
Should be said often
Should fit like a glove
We say it when we make jokes
We use it as an excuse
But we should use it the way it’s meant to be used
Because I love you
