Because I love you

Because I love you, I chose you to be my fish out of all the ones in the sea

Because I love you, I trust you to make your own decisions in your everyday life

Because I love you, I want to be a part of your inseparable, compassionate family

Because I love you, I stay, even when times get tough

Because I love you, I do everything I can to give you what you deserve

Because I love you, I communicate with you about the whole nine yards

Because I love you, I am honest with you about everything...no secrets

Because I love you, I wear my heart on the sleeve of my volleyball jersey

Because I love you, I miss you before you even leave

Because I love you, I dream of spending the rest of my life with you

Because I love you, you buy me red and white roses before church on Sunday

Because I love you, you respect me as you would respect your mother   

Because I love you, you have shown me how to see things with new eyes

Because I love you, you help me forget about my dreadful, dreary past

Because I love you, you make me smile at the drop of a hat

Because I love you, you make me feel more confident about my overall appearance

Because I love you, you call me to make sure I’m okay when I don’t even know I need that call

Because I love you, you make me laugh when I really want to cry

Because I love you, you correct me when I’m wrong to make me a better person

Because I love you, we fell hard for each other

Because I love you, we drive around, windows down, wind carrying our songs to the world

Because I love you, we let our feet lead us around the block, late at night, talking about our lives

Because I love you, we make each other happy, especially when it’s needed most

Because I love you, we comfort each other, on my couch, when times are rough

Because I love you, we work together as a team to have the best relationship there is

Because I love you, we make goals for our many years together

Because I love you, we think about what our future together would be

Because I love you, we are us, together forever
