Because I love you, I want you to be happy so I put my thoughts away. 

Because I love you, I am facing my depressing everyday stronger and harder. 

Because I love you, I stopped all my destructive behaviors.

Because I love you, I'm willing to come out of my comfort zone.

Because you love me, I finally have a reason to wake up.

Because you love me, I finally have a place that makes me feel safe. 

Because you love me, I found someone I want to spend my life with.

Because you love me, I finally love myself. 

We're told that we were too young to be in love, look at us now.

In a few years we will be telling each other our vows. 

You've loved me through all that i've put you through.

With that our love for each other grew.
