Because I Love You


Because I love you....

I always dreamed of saying 

Before I knew it would end 

In my sanity fraying 

Because I love you.....

I gave you the first greeting 

I tried to keep my cool

During our first meeting 

Because I love you....

I fell under your spell 

Controlling and oppresive 

I was told but still couldn't tell

Because I love you.....

I learned to know better

I discovered that real love is there

No matter the weather

Because I love you.....

I broke away from myself 

And found myself living 

In an isolated Hell

Because I love you.....

I went through the pain 

Of letting you finally go 

And died as you effortlessly did the same
