I’m tired of listening.  If you can’t be true to me, how can you expect trust from me?  If you can’t be one with me, why should I give you my all?  I’m not what you would call “the one,” but I refuse to be “the two.”  My love for you is not regular love, it is more, it is respect, dignity, it is knowing your flaws and what and who you are, but still supporting everything you are about.  I would never change an inch of you unless YOU wanted to.  I would never use things you have confided in me against you.  That’s what my love is.  If you understood my love, you would understand this.  You would see the true beauty of me. Not just my face, body, hair, and eyes, but the true beauty.  My intelligence, my strong will, my never give up attitude, and the fact that I do everything with all I am.  I put my all in you and you let me go, just as if I was a nobody to you.  I’m stronger now because you have taught me so much about myself.  You taught me that I can’t just stand by and let life happen, I want to be an active participant.  I want to thank you for making me see that I don’t have to be validated because I validate myself just by being ME!!
