Ask Don't Tell


Because I love you don’t be this way

or that way, or your way, just mine.

 

Because I love you I decide

how you must live and what must die

 

in your heart because if there is me

that is all. Nothing more.

 

Because I love you take heed,

don't forget that you need

 

Me

to feel whole,

to fill the void in your soul.

 

Because I love you,

I am me and you are you

 

But together,

we are we,

 

But you without me

is nothing.

 

Because I love you you go where I say,

do as I do, and act as I desire.

 

Because I love you, you love me.

And you want this.

 

I don’t ask I just know that you love me,

because I love you.

 

And because we are in love you are

Happy...right?
