I Love You

You have changed me entirely. I remain attracted to you, even on stormy weathers. It was always about what I felt for you, over what was in front of me. I ignored the red flags hoping, you would realise how much it hurt and change. I love you. But whenever has a leopard changed its spots? I sidelined my feelings, for the relationship to continue. I am emotionally bruised, but it is whatever because, I love you. I would take anything you threw my way, as long as we remained together. People advised me to leave. You convinced me I am nothing, without you and so I believed. I love you. The thought of not being with you irked me so bad. Rather cut off those I knew before to accommodate you. If they are trying to tell me, you are bad for me. I would rather tell them how being with you, hurt so good. How used to the abuse I have become. And how I do not know, I would survive without that. I love you.

A thought: is it possible to love whilst trauma bonding, given that where true love is, there can be no fear, no heart contraction?
