Because I Love You



Because I love you, you cannot go to that movie, I know how you act after horror.

Because I love you, you should not eat that, I know you will not be happy later that you did.

Because I love you, you should wear a sweater, I know you will not like the extra attention.

Because I love you, I should come to all of your events, I know you will need me to keep everyone away.

Because I love you, I decided that you do not need to go out anymore, I know you will be happier inside with me.

Because I love you, you should stop talking to your parents, I know you do not like being told what to do.

Because I love you, you should stop talking to your friends, I know they are bad infuences on you.

Because I love you, all you need is me.
