if you loved me, then...

if you loved me, then you would have respected my boundaries

if you loved me, then you wouldn't have claimed to be the victim when i stated my hurts

if you loved me, then you wouldn't have flipped the blame every time i stood up for myself

if you loved me, then your last message to me would not have been "clearly you didn't want me to communicate properly. good luck"

if you loved me, then you wouldn't have said my boundaries were attacks

if you loved me, then my needs wouldn't have been seen as criticisms

if you loved me, then you would have taken accountability 

if you loved me, then i wouldn't have had to explain basic respect over and over

if you loved me, then you wouldn't have tried to outtalk me instead of understand me

if you loved me, then you wouldn't have used your own insecurities to control me

if you loved me, then i wouldn't have had to defend my friendships like they were threats

if you loved me, then i would have felt safe, not scrutinized

if you loved me, then you wouldn't have made me doubt my own sense of reality

if you loved me, then you would have treated me like you loved me.
