You Make Me A Better Me

Healthy love is not

Hurtful words,

Angry fists, bruises,

Or accusing looks.

Healthy love is not

"Give me your password",

"Where are you?"

Or "You're pathetic".

Healthy love is

Kind words, kisses,

Loving arms

and simple gestures.

Healthy love is

"Get home safe",

"How was your day?"

and "We can talk about anything".

Healthy love says

"I did this for you,

Because I care about you".

Not

"Because now, you owe me".

Love is

"Here, have my jacket"

Even though

Their cold too.

Love is

Being able to be yourself

And they can too.

It is

Safety 

Trust 

And respect.

Healthy love has

Made me

A better version of myself.

Healthy love has

Taught me 

To love everyone.

Because everyone deserves,

And is worthy of

Healthy love.
