Because I love you


Because I loved you…

                                                                 I pushed away all of my friends

Because I loved you…

                                                                 I accepted back handed compliments as compliments

Because I loved you…

                                                                 I lost my sense of self worth

Because I loved you…

                                                                 I began to hate people for reasons I couldn’t understand

Because I loved you…                     

I learned that nothing I could do could change the bitterness in your heart

But now…

 

Because I LOVE you…

                                                                 I feel like a princess

Because I love you…

                                                                 I can spend a whole day with you and it’s still not enough

Because I love you…                        

                                                                 I feel proud, of myself and of you

Because I love you…

                                                                 I can say my opinions and unload my problems freely

Because I love you…

                                                                 I am willing to give up my last piece of food

Because I love you…

                                                                 I feel safe in your presence, not just physically but emotionally

Because I love you…

                                                                 I can love wholeheartedly again
