Because I Love You


Because 

A sun rises, oxygen flows, gravity remains, is how I can love you 

A society of addiction to screens and us unsocial misfits is how we met each other 

I 

Don't hate showing who I am anymore because of this loving boy I've come to fall in love with 

Don't think twice about his feelings cause he's made me a whole who loves more of myself and hates less

Love 

that thing you were taught to be afraid of yet yearn for 

that thing made up of fear although presiding over all other needs 

You 

the only human being to make me feel comfortable in my skin

the risk I'd be willing to take, although frightening but worth it 

Because I love you

is how I can stand before you and be the happiest person alive
