Because I Love You

Because I Love You, I must tell you’re wrong.

I must tell you that what you’re doing is destructive.

Because I Love You, I need to isolate you, just for now

Just until you open your eyes to the negative people that you let in

That you let touch your spirit.

Because I Love You, I need you to trust me,

Trust me when I tell you that if he loved you, he wouldn’t make you do that,

Or make you feel that way and she wouldn’t use you.

Because I Love You, I need you to focus,

Focus on yourself, your school, and your life.

Because I Love You, I need you to be selfish,

I need you to say no more and yes less.

Because I Love You, I need you to understand that I will move worlds for you,

I will not leave, nor discourage you.

Because I Love You, I need you to want more

More for yourself and more for your future

Because I Love You, I need you to breathe

Inhale and draw it all in; process it

Now let it go and with it, let out all your fears.

Because I Love You, I need you to rest

Close your eyes and escape this world, only if for a moment.

I need you to live Because I Love You.
