Girl, if you are crying more than one day a month because of something in your relationship, you don't need to stay.
Honey, if you have so many ulcers it hurts to eat and talk because of the stress of your relationship, you don't need to stay.
Babes, if you feel crazy even though you know yourself to be a reasonable and understanding person, you don't need to stay.
Darling, if you find yourself skipping out of the things you love because you are too emotionally strained and mentally exhausted, you don't need to stay.
Dearest, if you find yourself doing things you probably wouldn't because you want him to want you, you don't need to stay.
Beautiful, if he withholds his love but is still comfortable taking yours, you don't need to stay.
Sweet Pea, if you wake up one day and realize you've made yourself smaller and smaller and smaller because his needs will always be bigger and bigger, you don't need to stay.
My Love, forgive yourself for not going, forgive yourself for not letting go. The miraculous beauty of reaching for light even when we've planted ourselves deep in the muck is what makes us human. It's our grace. You can transplant yourself and still be okay. You don't need to stay.
