Because I love us


Because I love you, I’ll sacrifice my time.

Because I love, yeah sure I’ll block his number.

Because I love you, yes, I’ll accept the dirty names.

 Because I love you, get depressed when I don’t make you happy.

Because I love you, yeah sure go hang out with all those girls.

Because love you, I’ll stop studying for that college exam.

Because I love you, I don’t care that you messed with her.

Because I love you, I stop complaining about you being disrespectful.

But because I love me, I will stop listening to your orders.

Because I love me, I will not give you my passwords.

 Because I love me, no you can’t go through my texts.

Because I love me, no I’m not okay with you flirting with her.

Because I love me, no, sorry doesn’t cut it.

Because I love me, I refuse for you to put me down.

But because I love us, I will leave you because together we’re toxic.
