Because I love you

Because I love you

He says as he presents you with roses

Because I love you

He laughs as he presses you tight to his chest

Because I love you

He sings as he twirls you around

Because I love you

He croons as he pets your hair

Because I love you

He breathes as he gets down on one knee

Because I love you

He finishes as he stands at the alter

Because I love you

He reasons as he locks the door

Because I love you

He slurs as he finishes the bottle

Because I love you

He shouts as he draws back his fist

Because I love you

He whispers as he tends to your wounds

Because I love you

He repeats as he forces your legs apart

Because I love you

You mumble as you pack a bag

Because I love you

You think as you hide away dollars

Because I love you

You whisper as you sneak out the door

Because I love you

You reason as you pay for a motel room

Because I love you

You say as you stare at your reflection

Because I love you

You breathe before dialing your mother

Because I love you

You pray as you walk into the clinic

Because I love you

You cry as you hold your daughter in your arms

Because I love you

You repeat as you rock her to sleep

Because I love you

You sing as you watch her take her first shaky steps

Because I love you

You giggle as you rub your noses together

Because I love you

You explain as you finish telling her your story

Because I love you

She says as she clumsily presses a kiss to your cheek as a way to thank you for leaving him
