Because I love you

I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do

I won’t force you to try something I like

I might push you a little in the direction

But I’d stop as soon as you say no

 

Because I love you

I won’t mock you for something you like

I won’t tease you without end for a big past mistake

I might jokingly tease you a little

But I’d stop as soon as you seem hurt

 

Because I love you

I won’t be hard on you after I’ve had a bad day

I won’t be hard on you after you’ve had a rough day

I might want to cuddle and watch a movie

But I would do the same for you

 

Because I love you

I will treat you like the queen of the world

Because you could do so much better

And you’ve earned better

After you have made you life what you want it to be

 

Because I love you

I will give you respect

Because a lot of people don’t give you any

And you put up with them

Even though you deserve the best

 

Because I love you

I look out for you

I defend you when someone doesn’t

I protect you when people are dolts

And I always will
