10 Things We’ll Never Do

July 10

Don’t be possessive. I love you, only you. And I never want to love anyone else.

Don’t keep secrets from me. Tell me. I promise, your secrets are safe with me.

Don’t judge me and I promise not to judge you. The past is the past, we’ll leave it there.

Don’t make promises and then break them. I want to always believe the things that you say.

Don’t let anyone come between us. I promise you’ll always come first with me.

Please don’t raise your voice. Speak to me with love. I’ll listen.

Never be too busy for me. It gives room for doubt. Let’s not give the devil a chance.

Please, please. Don’t lie to me. The truth will set us free.

Don’t let me fall like sun rays through this world of hurt and pain. And when I cry, wipe my tears and say to me, “Never again.

But above all, please don’t fail to see how these imperfections of ours, come together perfectly.
