For Me You Have To.

Showing me, telling me, expressing it to me is how I need it now.
Proving to me in every way you have to put in the time to set me apart from the rest.
No don’t hold me above everyone else, just in a different place.
Love me as much as you love yourself.
Treat me just as you should treat yourself.
With respect, time, patience, and love.
Give me a reason as to why you want and need me, 
not just for today but; as long as you want us to last.
Don’t force anything at anytime if its not done by free will;
Then it means nothing.
