These five words I swear to you
I guess I don't really want an "I love you". Not really. That's lame. That's typical. What's it even mean? "I love you"... It's a phrase that is thrown around far too much and far too carelessly for my taste. I want a very sincere "I'll be there for you," and I'm holding out until I get it. I can't say that I know what love is, but I know what it is to stand beside someone through it all. Sometimes "I love you" is NOT enough, but a "I'll be there for you" is always a solid promise, a family, a life. "I love you" is nothing but a place holder to block out the silence when you can't say anything else. It promises nothing, and it means nothing. I'd take a "I'll be there for you" any day over an "I love you". And I think if I have to wait a lifetime for it, then it would be worth it. And if it never comes, it never comes. I would be ok. I would be fine, knowing that I never settled for less. I refuse to accept less. I refuse to accept the lack of promise an "I love you" offers. I'm worth someone that is willing to be there for me. I want more than "I love you", I want to know that someone's got my back when the s**t hits the fan.
