Because I love you

Jason,

 

Because I love you I’ll wait weeks and months for the day that I can hold you 

and I chose to trust you in every single way 

 

I get excited as soon as I see you 

I get butterflies in my stomach 

 

Because I love you I expect respect

not just words followed by neglect

 

I need honesty and patience,

 not impatience followed by frustration and impatience 

 

I don’t expect roses and chocolate every day 

just want you to be able to make the grey sky go away

 

We’ve gotten close to each other 

that I wouldn’t want another 

 

I want you to be able to say I love you to have meaning 

Don’t just say it and be deceiving 

 

I need you to be my anchor and keep me calm 

Even when life feels like a bomb 

 

Because I love you I became a person who is more alive

I want to live to see what the future has in store for us from now till we’re forty-five

 

I’ve learned more about myself through you and I’m glad you came into my life 

Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it’s real-life

 

I’m willing to go through it all because I love you

 

I will do my best to do the same 

because of you is who I became
