Because I love you

Because I love you I put up with the rain more than the shine 

Because I love you I accept the flaws that no one else would

Because I love you I would rather cry than smile without you 

    After years of loving you, I realize i have not been truly loved.

Because I loved you, I never loved myself

Today I begin my life again 

Love now stands for shine not rain 

Love stands for acceptance 

Love stands for crying from laughing too hard 

I would not have learned how to truly love if I had not once loved you.
