Because I Love You                                              By: Serena Durben

 

You are my world,

The night doesn't seem so dark anymore,

The stars aren't just stars but my guide that leads me to you,

The world doesn't seem so bad because I love you.

 

The days the world comes crashing down you are my sunshine,

The rain goes away and a smile appears,

A storm crosses through my body and is calmed with one touch of a hand,

All because of how much I love you.

 

A tornado spins through my head until it is destroyed by one kiss,

A tsunami clouds my eyes until you hug me and tell me everything is okay,

Lightning strikes me and all at once I feel paralyzed and then you plant a kiss on my forehead,

Any thing I go through can be fixed by you because of how much I love you I believe when you say "it'll be okay".

 

When air becomes tight in my chest like I can't catch my breath you rub my back and i'm okay again,

My atmosphere comes close to crashing down and you save me by lifting it back up,

The overwhelming feeling of my own mind being spun around is tossed away when you whisper things in my ear telling me you'll always be here,

You have a magic touch that I will never understand but I don't need to because I love you.

 

But in reality can I believe my world is going to stay stable forever,

I'm believing you will always be here to save me,

You will never let me drowned in my thoughts and emotions,

I will never know the truth but I will never except that one day the truth is you won't want me anymore but I will be here because I still love you.

 

You are here for me even when i’m in doubt,

I will doubt myself I will doubt us,

But in the end you know we are here for eachother,

I will always be here because I love you.

 

When i’m floating on a cloud madly in love your eyes light up,

When I smile I see a grin come across your face knowing i’m happy with you,

I love seeing you happy and in return you feel the same,

I never want this to end because I love you more than you know.

 

The first time you told me you knew I was the one,

The first time you told me you loved me,

The first time you kissed me,

I had no doubt I loved you,

I had no doubt that I wanted to stay with you,

I had no doubt you would always be here for me,

Because I love you.

 

When the words I love you are said it’s like saying you're final words forever,

Do you truly mean it or will you regret it until you are no longer apart of this world,

I knew you meant it with the smile on your face and the emotion shining through your eyes,

I could feel my heart pounding loudly as I heard you say those words with so much emotion raining out through your voice,

I knew I truly meant it saying those exact words back to you by the way my heart had jumped towards your emotions,

Because of how much I truly love you.
