We all have our way. We have our own personality. Inside of us character lay; our true true identity! So why not be you? Why live like the other? To-self, you need be true. Don't let your identity be smoothered. True love is: "who you are". Your beauty is your uniqueness! You were born a star; hope you get the jest! We surrender our lives to others; "in-love": retain your identity. This insures against a relationship severed; you life won't be "only" calamity. Take me as i am. Don't try to make me over. This must be your stand, when you're entreated by a lover. Let all bonds be mutual; things are shared in common. Continue to do your usual, even as the love blossoms. We know too well heart-breaks; "it cuts like a knife". So please for goodness sake, endeavour, yes, get a life!

About this poem:
when you retain your identity, even in love, you are better able to managed the fall-outs of broken relationships!
Who else would one be? Love should accent your life. Not take over it. I would not fare well with someone who wanted a hostage. My husband did spoil me he always encouraged me to be me The wind beneath my wings. I have friends who talk bad about their men. I do not understand I want to build my man up not tear him down
