Because I love you


Because I love you

By: Xavier Rodriguez

 

Do I love you?

Do I do these things because I love you?

Will I lie,

Will I die,

Will you or I, make you do the things we don’t like to do?

Because I love you and you the same for me?

 

Or maybe it’s one sided?

Maybe your using me because I love you.

Or I’m using you?

I can’t tell if its true love or abuse?

I can’t tell because,

I love you.

 

I don’t want to leave.

What if it’s a mistake and it is true.

You only made me do the things I don’t want to.

But I did them because I love you.

 

Is it my desires?

Is it because I don’t want to be alone?

Are you even sure you on the phone?

“Hello?”

 Are you there,

When I need you most?

 

But hey,

it’s me,

I know you don’t love me,

But in the end, I will listen to you,

Because,

 I love you.
