Because I Love You


Love is underestimated,

Because I love you, I will lie to you,

Love is taken for granted,

Because I love you, I will die for you,

Love is scary,

Because I love you, I would kill for you,

We shouldn't be allowed to speak with the word we use so very often,

Because I love you, I will wait for you,

We speak of love as if were speaking of oxygen,

Because I love you, I can't go on without you,

Love is more or less like a curse word,

Say it once, say it twice, but some people will always stare you down as if the

world as just run out of water,

Because I love you, I will keep my promises,

Because I love you, I will work hard,

Because I love you, I'm not afraid to ask you this one question;

But do you love me?
