Because I Love


Because I love you 

I am going to hold your hand

I am going to love your perfect imperfections

I will allow my hand to gently caress over your skin

I will lower my voice when I get angry 

I am going to kiss your tears away

Because I love you

I am your extra shoulder

I am your extra right hand, your extra feet

I am your pillow and your matteress

I am your spare tire 

I am your diary 

I am your favorite cereal 

Because I love you 

When I leave I always come back

When I sleep I always awake

Because it's human nature
