Because I love you

Because I love you I have changed myself 

Because I love you I can no longer be sensitive 

Because I love you I can't say what bothers me 

Because I love you I have forgotten who I was before 

Because I love you I have become an entirely different person 

Because I love you I feel like I am drowning in sorrow 

Because I love you I have made myself sick trying to please you 

Because I love you I have isolated myself from others 

Because I love you I have left my depression untreated 

Because I love you I put my pride aside to spare yours 

And its Because I love you that I say: 

I need to love myself before I can love you anymore. 

You tell me that you love me 

But where is this love? 

What is this love you speak of?
