Because I love you, I respect  you

Because I love you, I give up my wants for what you need

Because I love you, I force myself to talk things out

Because I love you, I don't give up on you

Because I love you, I forgive you when you make mistakes

Because I love you, I trust you

Because I love you, I give and expect nothing in return

Because I love you, I turned you in

Because I love you, I keep you safe

Because I love you, I stay up late to keep you safe

Because I love you, I help you learn

Because I love you, I hold you tight.
