There are going to be times when I close myself off.

When I pretend that I am fine.

When I don’t want to talk about what has been bothering me.

When I want to shove you to the sidelines and act like I can survive on my own.

But I will try my hardest to remember that we are ateam.

That you arent going to judge me.

That youwantto hear how I am feeling.

That my raw emotions will never push you away, that they will only bring us closer together.

There are going to be times when I get jealous.

When I feel insecure.

When I wish I looked different.

When I wonder ifyouwish you were with somebody different.

But I will try my hardest not to take my imperfections out on you.

I will try my best to trust you.

I wont snoop through your stuff or accuse you of cheating when I have no reason to do so.

I will remind myself that you are someone I can count on, someone who will remainfaithful.

There are going to be times when I feel like hibernating instead of leaving the house.

When I want to stay in my pajamas all day long and oversleep.

When the last thing I want to do is socialize.

But I will try my hardest to get along with your friends and family.

I will put in effort to plan dates, so that we are not always inside watchingNetflix.

I will not cancel plans at the last second, unless it is an emergency.

I will not disappoint you, unless I have no other choice.

There are going to be times when I overreact over stupid things.

When I accidentally start drama.

When I yell at you for no reason.

When we get into arguments that could have been avoided.

But I will try my hardest to treat you with respect, even when I am angry with you.

I will not act like you are the enemy.

I will not say nasty things that I will regret in the morning.

I will compromise with you.

I will talk to you like a mature adult, because that is what you deserve.

There are going to be times when I freak out about the future.

When I worry that we will break up one day.

When I think that you will leave me out of the blue.

We have the potential to make this work.

We have the potential to last a lifetime.

And that is why I am going to try my hardest to treat you right.
