Although I Love You


Because I love you,
It didnt' matter what was left
And what was right.
 
It didn't matter what was up 
And what was down.
 
Because I love you,
Days mended together.
 
You and I. Me and you.
Smiling, laughing, loving.
 
Because I love you,
I couldn't see straight.
 
And it's because I love you 
That I couldn't see
That seemed right
was wrong.
 
Things weren't looking up;
Our life was crashing down.
 
Althoug I love you,
I remember it all.
 
Although I love you,
I shouldn't have taken
the insults.
the abuse.
 
Although I love you,
I should have told you
Of how ashamed you make me feel.
 
Alhtough I love you,
the bruise you left is real.
 
Because I love you,
I need to be the one to step back
and walk away.
