Your HONESTY


what is healthy?

eating right, smiling, laughing, vibing to what you feel is right?

what is love?

being sure without knowing

glowing

showing signs of intoxication

but sober

when its new the heart is racing

you're closer

when its young it comes to facing

dissaproving parents with thoughts of immediate deprivation

is it scary?

do i carry this heavy load alone?

no.

HEALTHY LOVE

with which no guidelines are composed.

it has no outer appearance.

pumping through your veins in that first kiss, you feel it.

sure without knowing.

willing.

warm though its snowing.

giving.

though you knew something would hurt you'd still be there for me.

inevitably you'd never leave.

word is bond.i went unharmed.

i had your honesty.
