Relationships are harder now  
because conversations became
texting,  arguments  became
phone  calls, feelings became  
subliminal   messages,  ***  
became  easy, the  word "love"  
is  used  out  of  context,
insecurities  become  a  way­  
of  thinking, getting   jealous
becomes  a   habit,  trust   is
hard to  come  by,   being
hurt  becomes  natural  and
leaving  then  becomes  the
only option.

Sad  but  true,  so  if   you  have
something that's worth it...don't
take it  for granted. Fight  for  it
and  DON'T  LET  IT  GO!  

I want you to strip off all your
outer layers so I can see you just
as  you  are. And  I  don't mean
your clothing....
What I mean is that I want  to
see   your  bare  naked   soul.
And maybe then I can see what
you are really made of.
