Never Say Just

“I love you just the way you are.”

No, you do not,

If you really love me then say you love me the way I am,

Do not say you love me just the way I am,

Do not say just,

It makes me feel you are sympathizing with me,

Sympathizing with my flaws,

Do not sympathize with my flaws,

Embrace my flaws.

Say you love me the way I am,

Do not say you love me just the way I am,

It makes me feel as if you are doing me a favour,

Rescuing me from shame,

Makes me feel as if you have better options,

Make me your better option,

Not just a thing,

A second fiddle,

Never say Just.

Love me the way I am,

Do not love me just the way I am,

Never say just,

As if you mean just a love,

Just a joke,

Just an affair,

Just a woman.

“We are just having sex,”

“We are just friends”

How does that sound?

Just is not the real thing,

Like, just an example,

Am I an example of a lover?

Never say just,

Because I am not just a person in your life,

I am more than just,

I am real.
