You keep her by knowing that you will never be able to take all of her pain away.
And knowing that she will never fully be able to take away yours.
But by knowing that at least having each other, is better than nothing at all.
Gabriel Matula
And thats not perfection or a prince or someone without flaws.
You keep her, just by being you.
You keep her by listening to her.
By truly listening to her when she tells you about her day at work.
Even if its boring or mundane.
Even if its stressful and intense and painful.

You keep her by knowing that you will never be able to take all of her pain away.
And knowing that she will never fully be able to take away yours.
But by knowing that at least having each other, is better than anything else you could even imagine.
You keep her by understanding her.
By understanding that she is not perfect, and neither are you.
By understanding that she is strong with or without you.
And by understanding that she is her own person.
And that is breathtaking.
You keep her by being patient with her.
By not raising your voice every time she does something that scares or frightens you.
By not assumming anything.
By not jumping to conclusion after conclusion.
You keep her by being empathetic.
We are going to get through this.
You are stronger than your own demons.
You keep her by knowing that she is stronger than you will ever be.
You keep her in the little things.
You keep her through the small way you always smile at her, even when shes sleeping.
You keep her in how you love and cherish her, even when she doesnt want to be cherished.
You keep her by always fighting for her and for the endless river of love you have for her.
You keep her by never giving her a reason to leave.
And you keep her, not by being perfect, but by being the perfect person for her.
By being her perfect match, even if its not always lit.
