My Love is Unconditional – But Not My Trust Or Respect

I will love you with all of my heart if you give me the chance – as a friend, as a family member, as a best friend, as a lover, as a significant other. 

I will love you with everything that I am – but my brain, well, that's another story. My brain takes a lot more convincing.

My heart will jump in head first, ready to love you and everything about you – but my brain will hold me back and make me question and doubt.

My heart will not consider what could go wrong – buy my brain will protect me.

My heart wants all of you, nothing but you – but my brain keeps in perspective what else I need. 

I will love you with all that I am and give all that I can into a relationship, especially if you prove that you are worth of it. 

If you prove that you are worthy of my trust and respect, then my brain won't have to work as hard. It can take a break and let me heart go wild. My love is unconditional, and if you earn my trust and respect you will see how true this is.

If you prove otherwise, I will still love you. My heart will still feed me the same lines about love and wanting all of you, wanting you in my life, missing you. I will still care about you and wish you the absolutely best. My brain will just take over a bit more. 

My brain is tired of the games, of hurting. My brain is guarded because I have to be. I have let my heart run wild and show so much unconditional love that it has been taken advantage of. The love has been taken advantage of and stomped on. 

My heart will always love you – once I start loving you, I will not stop. It may change forms, fade, or not be as apparent, but at the end of the day that love is there to stay. 

I promise you that it's worth gaining my trust and respect. Give my brain a break from questioning and worrying, and you will see my unconditional love for you to the fullest. 

My love for you is unconditional, but my trust and respect are not. They must be earned, they must be proven. You must show that level of love for me to open up enough and show it to you as well.
