Because I Love You

Because I love you, I don't want you to see any of your friends.

Because I love you, you can not leave the house without me again.

Because I love you, you will give me all of your passwords,

Because I love you, you cannot question my reasons no matter how absurd.

Because I love you, you will do what I say,

Because I love you, I am protecting you, and this is how it will stay.

These are some of the things I was told, it's like I was under this blindfold, of mistreatment and fake love, I had to get out and find someone who I could think the world of, and I found him. He used “because I love you” but not in the same way, we would talk, and he would say,

Because I love you I want you to be your own person.

Because I love you I will not be a burden.

Because I love you, I will help you reach your dreams, no matter how crazy or far-fetched they might seem.

Because I love you, I will support you, through thick and thin, up and down, red or blue.

Because I love you, I want you to be yourself, just because you are a prize doesn't mean you need to be stuck on the shelf. I want the best for you,

Because I love you.
