Because I Love You


Because I Love You

I’ll take my time

Wait until you’re at your prime

Because I Love You

Consent is Key

I need to know if you really want me

Because I Love You

We can take breaks

I wouldn’t want your mental health to quake

Because I Love You

I can recognize if you do too

I know you can be abusive too

And even though my love is true

I know when I should leave you

Because I know I love me too.
