"Because I love you"


The four word phrase still eludes my mind

It is the complex answer to simple questions

An answer we find hard to understand

An answer that defies logical in every way

 

It is the answer our parents give to us when we ask

Why do you work so hard

Why do you endure the same soul crushing job everyday

Why do you throw away your happiness for mine

 

And all they answer

Because I love you
