I lifted your chin up to look me in the eyes and pleaded, "Please, baby. This is the most precious possession that I own, and it was a gift from someone who loves me with everything they have. It means so so much to me, so I ask that you keep it in this safe and do everything to protect it for me."

You thought it was beautiful, and I agree. But you opened up the drawer of the safe and lifted your eyebrow at me, testing me to see how far you could go. You took it out of the safe and you didn't even care. You tossed it up and down in the air, and treated it with such flippancy.

I think that when I meet a man who is right, and good, and full of gentleness, I won't have to worry. I will trust them to treat it with love, because they love me. They will protect it with me. They will know its worth and its value and what it means to me.
