One day I will believe you
I will believe every word that you say
I will listen to our disagreements
And take the words really in
I will speak my peace so calmly
I will let my words ring true
I will cast aside my pride
I will communicate with you
I will be vulnerable in that moment
I will let my walls completely down
I will take all of the punches
I will cry and not back down
I will work towards a resolution
I will grant you grace in this time
I will recognize the wrongs I have done
I will attempt to fix it somehow
I will communicate even though it is hard
I will let you speak without interruption
I will let your words pierce my heart
I will not give up until I am certain
Certain that we have expressed ourselves fully
Certain that I have shown myself fully unclothed
Certain that I have extended myself fully
Certain that I have given you my all
I understand that we will not always be on the same page
I know that difficulties will arise in life
But I want to work through the ups and downs
Because ups and downs are a part of life
But…
One day I will believe you
I will believe every word that you say
And even though it is hard to take in
I’ll figure out how to make a way
“Arguments are a part of life. However, it is important to be mindful of the words that you use. Sometimes we may use harsh words in that moment because of how we currently feel, but those words can one day become the truth in another’s ears. ” – Monica Renata
