Because I Love You


I want laughter and tears

smiles and kisses. 

I want dreams and nightmares

and a million wishes.

I ask , I receive.

You ask, We receive.

Because I love you

I laugh with no voice.

Because I love you

I cry with no tears.

Because I love you 

I smile with no teeth.

Because I love you

I kiss with no lips.

I dare dream of happiness

because you face a nightmare.

The wishes blossom

while our relationship grows.

Because I love you.
