Because I Love You


Because I love You,

I will tell you the truth if you ask me for an opinion,

Even if it's not what you want to hear.

If I love you, I will not tie you down to me.

If you want to leave my side,

You are free to do so at any time.

Because I love you,

I will do so with no hidden agenda.

I will call you just to say hi and not because I need something from you.

Because I love you,

I will not forget your birthday.

And I will make an effort to make time from my busy schedule to hang out with you.

Because I love you,

I will try not to judge you but to love you just the way you are.

Because I love you,

I will respect you and listen to you.

And if you tell me that you don't like me when I do something,

I will try not to repeat my behavior.

Because I love you,

I will forgive you whenever you fail my expectations

And I will ask forgiveness from you when I've made a mistake.

Because I love you,

I will be patient with you.

And pray for God to make you the best you, you can possibly be.

Because I love you,

I want the best for you

Even if it may cost me your love.
