Because I <3 U


Why?

Do you tuck me in

and scare away the monsters

under

my bed?

 

Because I love you

 

Why?

Do you help me with my science projects

after a 

l

o

n

g

day of work?

 

Because I love you

 

Why?

Do you teach me how to drive 

and keep teaching me after the dog dented your car

(It wasn't my fault)

And I cried for an hour?

 

Because I love you

 

Why?

Do we cook together on Friday nights

when I could be at a school dance?

(Because I'd rather dance around the kitchen singing with you)

 

Because I love you

Because I love you
