Because I Love You

Love can be a complicated thing

All anyone wants is to make the blue birds sing

That is not all that love means to me

It transends from you and I to we

Love will bring pain

It isn't always kissing in the rain

Love is trusting one another

Learning from how your father treated your mother

No hands, no screams, no walking away

Love is talking, listening, and choosing to stay

Everyone has their off days

But to be in love is to recognize that it's just a phase

Love is not to lie, but if you must lie

Let it be every night together until the sun is high

Love is not to steal, but if you must steal

Let it be their sorrows to help them heal

Love is "in sickness and in health"

Not based on one anothers wealth

Love cannot be bought, sold, or traded

Love cannot be imprisoned or legislated

Love is an infatuation

Not an act of manipulation

To not cower at the sight of their scars

But to promote and accept them as they are

Love is about breaking boundaries and taking chances

The eyes say it all with their second glances

Just like William Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet

They lived together without fear and no regret

Saying "I love you" anytime you can

And being each other's biggest fan
