Because I Love You


Because I Love You I Can Speak My Mind

Because You Love Me You Can Speak Your Mind

Because We Love Each Other We Can Speak Our Minds

Because We Love We Have Joy

Because I Love You We Can Spend Time Apart

Because You Love Me We Can Go Out Alone

Because We Love Each Other We Trust Each Other

Because We Love We Can Be Ourselves

Because We Love Each Other We Can Grow And We Can Change

 

Love Is Not Fights

Or Arguing

Or Name-Calling

Or Punching

Or Placing Limits

Or Demanding

 

Love Is Love

And Joy

And Growth

And Healing

And Realistic Expectations

And Appreciation

And Trust

 

Love Is Love

Not Anger
