Because I Love You


Because I love you

Life is worth living.

Because I love you

I have meaning.

I trust what you do,

As I know,

I do not control you.

You have a life

I want you to live it.

You are lovely,

My spirit.

Your body glows,

The whole world beams.

A lover like you,

I could only imagine in my dreams.

I love you

I promise that is true. 

But because I love you

I can see it's not meant to be.

Because I love you

I must let you go.
