Because I love you


Because I love you

I change my outfit before tonight’s date

I wake up early so I won’t be late

You told me that you would be with your mates

I realize my mistake

 

Communication is key

But so is trusting me.

Am I not what YOU want me to be?

You shrug

I frown

You walk away

I become astray

 

As time passes,

Two weeks

One month

Three years, pass by

Remember that guy?

Oh my, what a bad eye.

 

And then I saw you

You didn’t shrug

Your look wasn’t mug

You didn’t keep me away

Because you knew that one day

This would be a romantic getaway

 

 

Respect, love, courtesy, is vital

You have earned this title

Except this time it’s better,

Sweeter than honey

Better than money

I think I just lost my tummy

 

Because you love me

You change your outfit before tonight’s date

You wake up early so you won’t be late

And in return

I do the same

 

This is it

This is Love

As pure as a dove

A single act of ‘mance

You ask “why?”

I whisper…

 

“Because I love you.”
