Because I love you.
Because I love you,
I thought it was okay to spend all my energy on you.
My grades started dropping,
And I was up every night talking to you.
Because I love you,
I gave you all my passwords.
You selected my friends for me,
And I still can’t believe you chose when I’d go out and when I’d stay home.
Because I love you,
I did your school work for you.
I wanted to see you succeed,
And I still can’t believe I didn’t see myself falling in that process.
Because I love you,
I fought with my mom.
Yelled at her,
And I still can’t believe I almost left her for you.
Because I love you,
I was blind to see what you were doing.
You were corrupting me and ruining my life,
And I still can’t believe I thought you were protecting me.
Because I love you,
I started seeing things for how they really were.
I wasn’t going to fall down in life,
And I still can’t believe I saved myself from regretting it forever.
Because I love you,
I’ll miss you forever.
Because I love you,
I’m going to do what’s best for me,
Because that’s what you would’ve wanted.
Because I love you,
I had to let you go.
