Love demands togetherness, not time apart.
Respect is eliminating egos to understanding those internal individual faults.
Intimacy requires time, not urgency.
Forgiveness is allowing yourself to breath & be comfortable. At ease.
Appreciation of one another supersedes options. And maturity is accepting time; will not allow anyone of us. To remain the same.
Why, do you love me. I first had to learn how to love myself; first.
