A declaration in the needs that I have


If you want to love me

You'll have to show me you're here for the long haul

If you want to hold my love in your hands

You'll have to prove to me that you won't throw it away

If you want to have my trust

You'll have to give me exactly the same you expect

If you want to help me with my fears and insecurities

You'll have to give me a reason to allow you to do so

If you want to be a part of my life

You'll have to try tour best to make it happen

I will not chase after you

Nor will I expect you to chase me

I will not give you reason to doubt me

Unless you make me doubt myself

I will not leave you behind

Unless you won't let me carry you

I will not let my insecurities bury me

Unless you give me the shovel

I will not let you be burned

Unless you burn me first

If you want me to love you

Show me you love yourself

If you want me to love you

Show me you truly want to help fix it

If you want me to love you

Show me you even want my love

If you want me to love you

Show me you love the parts of me I hate

If you want me to love you

Show me that you want all of me

If you can do this

I will give you my entirety, both strength and weakness

If you can o this

I will raise you higher than the heavens

If you can do this

I will be there because you want me

Not because you need me

I will be there because you want me

If you can do this

You will be my safety

As I will be your sanctuary

If you can do this

If you can TRUELY do this

I will always be there
