Because I Love You

My love for you is constant

Unwavering in a world of chaos

You are there, always

My safety harness

Even when I plunge into the abyss

We see into each other

All of the proud accomplishments

All of the shameful moments

Your soul is like a light bulb

Dusty at first

But luminescent once uncovered

Have no fear, my dear

We will stand together

We will lean together

Bound by love

In the face of overwhelming odds
