Because I Love You (A Poem for You, Lovely)
You’ve taught me
The world will always be beautiful
No matter who we’re standing next to
But as I’ve grown the realize
Because I love you
Everything glows
About as bright
As a hundred million constellations
Whenever you’re by my side
You are the sun
Warming every inch of my being
So I circle around you endlessly
I hope your gravity keeps pulling me towards you
Because I love you
I have learned that the word “love”
And all it’s beauty
Stretches miles
Pulling us together
We’re connected by heartstrings
Reaching from your heart to mine
Maybe I love you unhealthily
So much of my faith and trust lies in you
Even though you are fated to grow up soon
Grow away
Maybe I love too much
You shake your head
And tell me there’s no such thing
As too much love
You told me you can always rely on those you love
So you’ll be with me always
Dear you, I’ve recently discovered
I love you like a brother, and I never want to let you go
You showed me that everything has an end
We won’t get infinity
But you told me to never love less
Just out of fear it’ll come to a close too soon
So no matter where you land in this world
I’ll love you an infinity and more
In the space of our lovely little finity.
Because I love you
I know this isn’t the end
As you watched the tears roll down my face
You showed me where you’ll always be
You pointed to my heart, held me close
You’ll love me and you’ll never let me go
