Because I Love You

Because I love you, I want to shout so loud

That Gaea wakes from her slumber wondering

Who the fuck could be so loud?

Because I love you, I will buy you a stuffed fox

Because I know that you had a rough day at work

And foxes are your favorite animal.

Because I love you, I will kiss you

Until you were red in the face

But would stop as soon as you said to stop

Because the world doesn’t need any more Donald Trumps.

Because I love you, I will hold you so tight

So that you could never leave

Unless you wanted to leave

In which case, I’d swallow my pride.

Because I love you, I will watch the apartment

While you go out with friends

Since Wednesday is your night.

Because I love you, I will never leave your side

Unless you need space and time to think.

I would stay away just long enough to bake you cookies

To make the thoughts come just that more sweetly.

Because I love you, I will be your champion when you need one

I will be your rock.

I will be your friend.
I will be your clown.

I will treat you with respect and tenacious loyalty

Because I truly love you.
