Because I Love You


I talk

When you

Don’t have the words,

Because I love you.

 

I listen

When you

Have news to share,

Because I love you.

 

I smile

When you

Lack the strength to,

Because I love you.

 

I hold on

When you

Want to let go,

Because I love you.

 

I wait

When you

Don’t have the time,

Because I love you.

 

I forgive

When you

Make a mistake,

Because I know you 

Love me.
