Because I Love You

I sacrifice.

Bad, selfish

parts, greedy and unforgivable.

I let go of my past,

the guilt of who I was.

 

I forgive you 

easily.

No fight or problem

strong enough

to break my love

for you.

We will make

compromises.

Ways for Us to come together

on Our differences,

and love more because of them.

 

I will always be 

honest, truthful

even if it pains me to say so. 

Where there will be sadness

there will be love,

in love there will be

little moments. 

Coming home unexpected,

Sunset painted flowers,

Soppy nicknames only We know,

Soft nuzzling while movie watching,

Fresh sandwiches when hunger is around.

 

I will protect you.

Not with strength,

with faith.

Faith in Us, lifting

you up in your bad times,

Bringing confidence in

yourself, never

bringing you down.

Going out of my way 

to make sure you're always

smiling, enjoying life,

the life you have.

 

In protectiveness there is freedom.

Freedom to make 

right choices, 

Become your own person

together, and apart. 

To go on adventures,

have your own happiness

while I share it,

even if I'm not there.

 

In freedom, there is trust.

Trusting you to confide in me,

catch me when I fall,

love me when I don't myself.

To see me at my worst,

never leave me. 

Trusting you to

be true to yourself,

To keep my heart safe

and unharmed as I will yours.

 

I will never let you go,

I will praise everyday with you,

I will miss you when we are apart,

I will rejoyce when we meet again.

I will marry you...

We will have a future,

a house, adoring family,

fights and remission,

love.

All this, because I love you.
