" Because I love you"


Because I love you,

I put up with your mood swings.

Because I love you,

I don't argue with you.

I've watched you grow and mature into the beautiful girl you are.

Because I love you,

I give you your freedom.

Because I love you,

I ignore the harsh words you say to me.

You now have your own personality.

Because I love you,

I keep my distance.

Because I love you,

I trust your decisions. 

You're almost an adult now.

Because I love you,

I annoy you.

Because I love you,

I'm all in your business.

I don't want you to grow up.

Because I love you, 

I am proud of who you are.

Because I love you,

I don't want you to grow up.

You're my sister. You use to look up to me. I don't want you to forget about me.

Because I love you.
