Because


Because I've been told I love you so...

Because I've been told you shouldn't be friends with those people

Because I was afraid of disappointing you

Because I realized what we were, wasn't healthy or safe

Because I loved you

Because I loved me more

Because I left, you hit me

Because I succeed, you did a second time

Because I am strong

I will survive.
