"Because I Love You"


Before everything started, we were strangers

Everyone warned me about you

Causing me to be attracted to you more

And you didn’t know who I was

Until you caught me looking at you from across the hall

Sparks jumped around me when you caught me

Emotions bumped around in my head like a pinball machine


I knew you were different from what they said


Life with you by my side was different

Out of any other person I knew, I felt attached

Various people had told me to be careful but

Eventually they saw how we felt about each other


You then changed as months went by

Once I heard of the awful things you did, I knew they were right from the beginning

Unable to grasp onto you any longer, I let you go
