Because I Love You


I am saying I love you, because I love you.

I look for you first thing in the morning when I come downstairs before school because I love you

I ask for your aid when im outside on the playground and graze my knee because I love you

I look forward to eating homemade birthday cakes with you on my special day because I love you

I cannot wait to see you after a hard day of middle school drama  and my first volleyball game

because I love you

I wait for the bell to release me on my last day of school so I can jump into your car and start summer because I love you

I recieve my first car and swear to myself that I will not scratch or dent the exterior because you gave it to me and I love you

I am asked to prom and cherish the moments spent shopping for the occasion because I love you

I get in trouble with a friend but cannot wait to get home and hear out your punishement and advice because I love you

I go off to college and cannot wait to go home during the holidays because I love you

I miss home and call you when my life is crumbling down emotionally and financially because I love you

I figure things out and bring home the man of my dreams for you to approve because I love you

I walk down the isle listening to church belles ring with you along my side because I love you

I bring my children to visit you at home to hear your great advice because I love you

I come to see you when you do not feel like going outside anymore because I love you

I begin to take care of you once my children are older and relive childhood food, memories, and experiences because I love you

I weep once you are gone and wish there are so many other things I could of told you because I love you

I go by your stone every day and talk to you as if you were still here because I love you

I am so thankful for you, because I love you
