Because I Love You


I love you this much,

More than all the tears from your eyes.

If you love me,

You'll not worry your pretty mind over my lies.

What I mean with my fists

My love will persist;

Just know that it's because I love you.

I love you this much,

More than the breaths you take from me.

If you love me,

You'll let me hold you when darkness is all you see.

Always my hearts is your

Equals through all wars;

Just know that it's because I love you.
