I don't want a
fifty-fifty relationship.
Life doesn’t work that way. I want to be
your strength when you simply cannot cope, when you come to me
with the world on your shoulders, when your spine cannot carry
the weight you hold. I want to be your hope. I want to be the one
who doesn’t walk away when things get tough. I want to be
the one who proves to you that people can still win this war of
love. I want to be the one who shows you that some people still
stay during the dark times, that some people still fight. I want
to be your light. I want to be your best when you are not your
best. I will not judge you for your sadness, I will not resent
your for your flaws. When life gets rough, know that I will
always be there to hold your hand, I will always be there to turn
off the world for you. I don’t want you to think that you
ever have to do this by yourself. I am with you because I want to
be a part of your life — your whole life; through the good
and the bad. I am with you because my heart feels compelled to
beat for yours, and I will continue to choose you through the
hurdles and through the highs. I know that life kicks your teeth
in sometimes, and I may not know how to fix every shard of hurt
and harm, but I do know how to love you — and I will love
you deeply whenever things come to be too much, whenever you need
a crutch. I don’t want a fifty-fifty relationship. Life
doesn’t work that way; it is real, not perfect. There are
going to be moments where we will have to be more for one
another, where we will have to build the other up, and I cannot
wait to grow with you in those ways. I cannot wait to show you
just how much I can love you when you need it the most, for I
know you will do the exact same for me.
