Because I Love You


Because I love you

I still get lost when I look into your eyes.

The simple thought of you turns my frown into a smile.

Every hug makes me feel warm inside

Because I love you.

 

Because I love you

I trust that you are always telling the truth.

I don’t live in constant fear of being cheated or used.

I respect your space when you’re with your friends.

Because I love you.

 

Because I love you

I know that even the perfect relationships aren’t perfect.

I’m not afraid to put to work in.

We don’t always see eye to eye but we make things work.

Because I love you.

 

Because you love me

You show me the respect that I show you.

You are kind to my family respect their rules.

You put in the same effort that I put in with you.

Because you love me.

 

I know that we are a really great team.

We give and we take without compromising either of our dreams.

We work hard together which is the way it should be.

Because we love each other.
