Because I Love You


One day, I'll take you on a grand adventure across the seas,

Because I love you, and think you deserve happiness.

 

In a few years, we'll both be done with school and I will marry you,

Because I love you and want you in my life.

 

Soon, we'll set aside time to play games, watch your favorite Korean cooking shows, and laugh together,

Because I love you and have fun with you.

 

Tomorrow, we'll tell each other about our days over a long phone conversation,

Because I love you and miss you.

 

Tonight you're feeling insecure and lonely and a little sad.

"It's ok, my dear. You are perfect," I say. "Why?" you reply.

 

I think back to a fight, months ago, when I asked you why.

You said "I can give you a million reasons, from your wit to your smile, but really…

It's because I love you."

So I tell you, "It's ok because I love you, just because you're you."
