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.
