"Because I love you"

Three words to let you know it's real

They express simply how I truly feel 

Well, can you try and take a guess? 

When to say "I love you" when it's best. 

Add another word in front of it, 

Does "because" make it different a bit? 

When should one say "Because I love you"?

How can the other tell if it is true? 

Well, right about now

Is when I'll tell you how. 

When they did something nice for you

"Because I love you." 

When they self-sacrificed so greatly for you

"Because I love you."

When they know you better than you know yourself 

"Because I love you."

When they take on actions to prevent your loss

"Because I love you." 

"I love you" can make you see

That "Because I love you" shows that you mean more to me than me.
