Because I Love You.


Three weeks ago, you left for a much needed extended-stay vacation,

and I was devastated.

 

Though I kept my shit together for you.

Because I adore you.

 

Two and a half weeks ago, you called me while on that

much needed extended-stay vacation,

and I was glad to hear your voice.

 

Though you called at one in the morning, I let you talk

for as long as you wanted to.

Because I miss you.

 

Two weeks ago, I was scared to call you because I thought

you'd forgotton about me on that

much needed extended-stay vacation,

and I was heartbroken.

 

Though, I called you anyway, because I was worried.

Because I like you.

 

Last week, you got home from that much needed extended-stay vacation,

and I was ecstatic.

 

And when I saw your face for the first time in three weeks,

I kissed you.

Because...

 

Because I love you.
