Because I Love You


Because I love you

I want you to try all of the things I love

You can choose what you want to do later without me

 

Because I love you

We should consummate this relationship

That's how you show love

 

Because I love you

I don’t need to hold your hand in public

That just makes me uncomfortable

 

Because I love you

You shouldn’t be mad at me

Especially because you’ve hurt my feelings

 

Because I love you

You shouldn’t hang out with your friends

I don’t like them, so why should you?

It is a betrayal for you to confide in your friends

 

Because I love you

You need to give me some space

But don’t be busy in case I get bored

 

Because I love you

We shouldn’t spend time with your family

It isn’t any fun for me

 

Because I love you

You should try to change your little quirks

I shouldn’t have to change, I am the way I am

 

Because I love you

I can hang out with anyone I want

Especially other girls

 

Because I love you

You have no right to be upset with me

You have no right to ask where I have been

 

Because I love you

You should stop crying it is upsetting me

Don’t talk to anybody about this

 

Because I love you

...I don’t
