She said.

Don't love me with your pride nor with limitations,
Don't use your past pain as an excuse when you hurt me,
Don't push your thumb in wounds then question why my scars haven't healed.

Don't think I'll beg you to stay if you want to leave,
Because I'm tired of loving someone until I forget to love me.

Don't fill me with lies then question why I don't believe your truths,
Don't step in my heart with ***** shoes,
Reassure me with words but love me with actions,
Love me in public and even more in private.

I pray my definition of genuine love aligns with yours,
And I'm engraved deep in your mind, Love me every day like today we'll meet our demise.
