Because I Love You


Because I love you, I will wait

Wait for you to finish doing your hair

Wait for you to try on endless amounts of clothes

Wait for you to calm down

Wait for you to be ready

 

Because I love you, I will protect you

Protect you from bad fashion decisions

Protect you from danger

Protect you from sadness

Protect you from being taken advantage of

 

Because I love you, I will be there

Be there for you in sadness

Be there for you in your joy

Be there to make you smile

Be there when you need me

 

But Because I love you, I won't

Won't pressure you

Won't hurt you

Won't abandon you

Won't abuse you

 

Because I love you
