Because I Love You...

Because I love you

I let my guard down.

I became an innocent,

When I had trained myself to guard my heart.

Because I love you,

I believed you when you told me

you would feel empty without me.

I fell for you,

just as fast as a droplet of rain during a sunny day.

When you told me you'd never find anyone like me,

I believed you.

Because I love you.

Because I love you,

I protect you at all cost,

I defend your name,

I defend what we were.

Because I love you,

I check up on you,

See how you're doing,

See who you've gotten together with.

Because I love you,

I remember the strands of your hair

When I would brush my fingers through it

Even if you hated it.

Because I love you

I remember our first date,

I remember how sandals beat Nikes,

But because I love you

I told you the Nikes beat Sandals.

Because I love you,

Dropping fries seems as if it's a sin,

A reminder of a love once great.

Most important,

Because I love you,

I had to set you free,

Let our memories fade into my heart,

Let tears to be purified,

Let you be able to smile again,

I had to let our love fade away,

All because I love you.
