Talk about trust before you talk about love,
For trust is the foundation of any true relationship.
Without it, love will wither away like a dying plant,
Deprived of the sustenance it needs to flourish.

Trust is not something that can be given easily,
It must be earned through actions, not just words.
It is built through honesty, transparency, and consistency,
And must be maintained through open communication.

It starts with small things, like keeping your promises,
Returning a borrowed item, or showing up on time.
These simple acts build a foundation of reliability,
And show that you can be counted on when it matters most.

But trust is not just about keeping your word,
It's also about being vulnerable and honest with each other.
It means being able to share your fears, hopes, and dreams,
Even if they are difficult or uncomfortable to discuss.

Learning to trust someone requires patience and time,
For it is not something that can be rushed or forced.
It requires a willingness to be open and vulnerable,
To let down your guard and allow someone in.

Trust requires humility and a willingness to apologize,
To recognize when you have hurt someone and make amends.
It is a two-way street that requires effort and commitment,
But the rewards are immeasurable when it is established.

Because when trust is present, love can grow and thrive,
Building a bond that is unbreakable and true.
It allows for forgiveness and understanding,
And creates a safe space where both parties can flourish.

Talk about trust before you talk about love,
For it is the foundation upon which all relationships are built.
Without it, love may be fleeting and shallow,
But with it, anything is possible.
