Because I Love You
“No one will ever treat you like I do”
“Because I love you”
He was right
No one has and no one ever will
“Stay with me”
“Do this for me”
“Devote your life to me”
I did what he wanted because I loved him
And he loved me
“Change for me”
“Be more for me”
“Devote your life to me”
I tried to do what he wanted because I loved him
And he loved me
“You ruined me”
“You lied to me”
“You did this to me”
“You said you would devote your life to me”
“I loved you more than anyone ever will”
“I thought you loved me”
I thought I loved him
Until I learned what love is
Love is not manipulation
Love is not abuse
Love is powerful
Love is unconditional
Love builds you up
Love does not break you down
Love makes you feel alive
Love does not make you want to die
