love hate by me

Don’t say that you love me unless you’re ready to stay when things get heavy.

Unless your actions can carry the weight your words create.

Love is not a sentence spoken in comfort; it’s a promise proven in silence, patience, and effort.

Don’t say that you love me if you only mean the feeling.

Love is more than warmth and butterflies—it is choice, consistency, and courage when the excitement fades.

It shows up on ordinary days, not just in emotional moments.

If you say you love me, say it with honesty, with presence, with respect.

Say it when I’m difficult, when life is unfair, when walking away would be easier.

Because love spoken lightly can wound deeper than silence.

So don’t say that you love me—

show me.

And then I’ll believe every word.
