Because...


Because I love you I will not look down upon you,

You will be you and I will be me,

For some things are just that simple.

 

Because I love you I will enjoy every single moment shared,

Not because we only have so much time together in life,

But because we only have so much time together in death.

 

Because I love you I will shift the world for you,

The cracks that of which we are walking upon do not represent our backs,

But just in case I will guide us over to the safety of the next block.

 

Because I love you I have to take off into uncharted territory,

It is not you that destroys our crucial bonds that lasted for a millennia,

It is me and for that I am deeply sorry,

But I have to go,

Because I love you.
