Are you hungry?


Are you hungry? 

Oh, you are?
Here let me make you something to eat.
 
Because I love you. 
 
Don't forget to take your jacket it's cold outside!
 
Because I love you. 
 
Oh there's dishes in the sink and you got home late, I'll do them.
 
Because I love you 
 
He smiles and hugs me. He pays when we go out. He buys me things I don't always need but things I want!
 
Because HE loves me. 
 
I love you. I don't have to always say it but I do. I love you, I love you, I love you. Because I love you I make sure you're okay, and you make sure I have everything I need. 
 
Because I love you, we speak daily and easily. 
 
Because I love you, we fight. We fight because I worry, and sometimes im embarrassed to say to say I worry. 
 
Wonder, I wonder when our fights turn to laughter will we remember them in another few years. 
 
Because I love you, is not only words that are spoken but it's actions; and with movement and vocals our relationship will flourish.
