I Love You

I love you.

It’s not a weight you must carry around.

I love you.

It’s not a box that holds you in.

I love you.

It’s not a standard you have to bear.

I love you.

It’s not a sacrifice I make.

I love you.

It’s not a pedestal you are frozen upon.

I love you.

It’s not an expectation of perfection.

I love you.

It’s not my life’s whole purpose - or yours.

I love you.

It’s not to make you change.

I love you.

It’s not even to make you love me.

I love you.

It’s as pure and simple as that.
