Between you and me

Between you and me.

Don’t tell me you need me. Don’t tell me that this thing between you and me was destined.

Tell me the truth, that it’s an attraction and interest.

You choose me but there’s no illusion or spiritual deception.

I want to know you would leave if I were god awful, not that you’d stay and resent me because you’re afraid of being alone.

I want a lover, not a martyr.

I want you to stand up for yourself and know what you’re worth, a woman who can’t be bought nor broken.

A woman who knows she is whole but still, that doesn’t stop her from hoping.

You love me because you want to, you choose to, and I do the same.

I won’t hesitate to ask for your heart when I’m feeling your pain.

There’s no romance in fate.

The most beautiful love story starts and ends with a choice.

I’ve made mine with you.

I choose you over and over, not because I have to fulfill some karmic tie, but because I love this mess….between you and I.
