I won’t change for you. 

No matter what.

Because as soon as I accept the word “change” into our relationship
it means that I have found something wrong in myself.

I can’t  won’t let myself feel shamed. 

I will grow with you. 
I will fight for you.
I will fight for a better me.

Not a new one.
Not a trade in. 

Just one that is a little healthier, repaired. 

I won’t change you.
I won’t tell you that you are wrong.
I wouldn’t want you if you changed. 
Just as you wouldn’t want me if I changed. 

I will tell you what we can restore together.
We can mend what is too rough, too raw.

I may buy you new old shirts.
I may rearrange the furniture.

But, I won’t change you. Because you won’t change me.

You will make me grow.
Progress. Flourish. Thrive. Succeed.

And I will make you prosper.
Advance. Bloom. Burgeon.
