Almost every couple will say that to each other
But I’m not very sure they actually mean it
You see … The way you are, it consists of many sides
The good & the bad
The angel & the devil
The smart & the fool
I except you just the way you are, you said …
But why you’re mad when she act silly ?
Why you’re mad when he’s being flirty with some cute girl ?
Why you tell her to stand still when you know she love to dance
Why you ask him to mingle when you know he hates the crowd
Love, love is such a huge word
Yet you dare to say it out loud before you said
‘the way you are’
I love you just the way you are
Then why you constantly find something for your partner to change in them ?
Why you ask her to be quiet when you know she is loud and that’s what made her
Why you ask him to keep his job when you know he hates to be told what to do
When are you going to embrace the authenticity of your partner and be proud about it ?
When are you going to support your partner to be who they are and show it to the world ?
When are you going to be actually on the same side with your partner ?
If you love them just the way they are
Then you have to be thankful with everything that made them who they are today
Their parents and family who raise them, who taught them such integrity that they have today
Their best friends who keep them in a supportive environment
Their exes who inspire them to treat their partner gently
Be thankful to those who had been in their life
Do not be jealous … Do not be afraid …
For the past is in the past and today they are with you
You got to love the hometown where your partner grew up
The weather that keep their skin the way you love today
You got to love the books they read
The words inside their minds that comes out beautifully towards you
The silly things they do when they are alone
The nasty sounds they made when they are in the bathroom
The emotional outburst that mostly will made you suffer
But that is who they are, and how they release the stress
When you love them, you be that stress relieve they need
When you except your partner just the way they are
Do not ask them to change…
Be the first who change for the better
If you are meant to be with each other,
They will move forward and grow in chorus with you …
Be thankful for who they are …
The best & the worst
Then trust me,
You will find that you are blessed with a partner who have the most unique and amazing personality in the whole world .
