what is a relationship?
two people can be in a relationship
and be unhealthy
at the same time
love
is the In-Between of
a crush
and an obsession
love says, "I want you to stay."
obsession says, "Don't you dare leave."
love says, "Text me when you get home. Be safe."
obsession says, "Where are you? I'm coming to get you."
love says, "Tell your friends I said hi!"
obsession says, "Who are you with? You aren't with him again, are you?"
love hurts
but never on purpose
never like obsession will
this doesn't mean love is sunshine and rainbows
a healthy relationship is till full
of fighting
and tears
and everything else that is messy
in an unhealthy relationship
you scream until your lungs give out
in a healthy relationship
you scream until your heart gives out
