trying to change you

Love is allowing you be.
If you think love is
calming your anger
then baby, I don’t love you.
Love is accepting your anger.
If you think love is
getting jealous when you’re with another girl
then darling, I don’t love you.
Love is trusting you.
If you think love is
spending every second of every day, together
then sweetheart, I don’t love you.
Love is giving each other that private space.
If you think love is
rushing to solve your every problem
then honey, I don’t love you.
Love is supporting your ability.
If you think love is
reading your mind
then puppy, I don’t love you.
Love is expressing your thoughts.
If you think love is
knowing every tiny detail about you
then buttercup, I don’t love you.
Love is in the mystery.
If you think love is
total dependence on one another
then sugar, I don’t love you.
Love is independence.
I love you
baby, sugar cake,
honey boo, puppy.
I love your anger
And I love our independence.
I love our ebb
And I love our flow
I love our highs
And I love our lows
I love our secrets
and I love your dreams
I can only love you like me.
I can only love you as me.
