Because I love you



I stay because I love you

Although I know I shouldn't.

Love is supposed to be good,

not constant pain in my heart.

 

Love is the freedom to choose whomto be with,

It is not ownership, and it should never be so.

In recent times being with someone means that you're theirs,

asf your body, mind, and heart were property to be had.

 

Love is believing for once that happiness does exist,

It should never pain you to love someone,

It should neve be difficult.

Love is best in its simpler and sweeter form.
