Because I Love You


Because I love you I have over looked

I over looked your absence

I over looked your hatred

I over looked your faults

 

I should instead have thought about myself

I should have taken a stand

I should have helped myself

But now we are done

 

Now I will find a better friend

One who will tell me the truth

One who will acknowledge my exsistence

One who will LOVE me back

 

I will no longer say should of

Instead it will be I did
