"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU"

I'VE CONFUSED LOVE WITH HATE

AND HATE WITH LOVE

CONFUSED THE TRUTH WITH A BLUFF

AND WONDERED WHY LOVE IS SO ROUGH

 

HERE'S A TOKEN FROM THE BROKEN

ILL DROP GEMS OF LOVE THAT SEEM UNSPOKEN

 

LOVE IS NO HANDCUFF

AND TRUE LOVE IS ENOUGH

 

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT ID DO

WITH THIS MASSIVE HEART MEANT FOR ME AND YOU

 

WITH NO HESITATION , I'LL TAKE THE INTIATIVE

TO REASSURE YOU MY LOVE IS REAL

WITH GENTLE HANDS, I'LL HOLD YOUR HEART 

AND ONLY ACT WHEN YOU ARE READY TO FEEL

 

ILL GIVE YOU THE BLISS FROM KEPT PROMISES

AND UNTAINTED LOYALTY

LET YOU FALL DEEP IN LOVE, BUT NEVER DROWN

ILL BE THAT BOUYANCY 

 

IVE LEARNED TO SPEAK AND NOT TO SHOUT

LEARNED TO EXPLAIN AND NOT TO POUT

 

A MIND READER I MAY NOT BE

BUT ILL ANSWER ANY QUESTION TO PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE

 

RESPECT FOR YOU, FOREVER GROWING

PASSION ILL GIVE YOU INFINTELY WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING

 

IN RETURN ID LOVE FOR YOU TO RECIPROCATE

I LOVE YOU THE WAY I LOVE ME

AND THATS NOT IN VEIN 

 

 

I USED TO CONFUSE LOVE WITH HATE

OR HATE WITH LOVE
