Because I Love You


Because I love you I will express my feelings using words

 

Instead of keeping you in the dark

 

Because I love you I will keep an open mind to your thoughts and opinions

 

Even if I don’t agree

 

Because I love you I will be confident in your abilities to succeed without my help

 

Because I love you I will never challenge your religious beliefs

 

Because I love you I will tell you when I’m uncomfortable

 

Instead of holding a grudge

 

Because I love you I will give you the space you need

 

Because I love you I won’t care if you need to cancel dates

 

Because I love you I will hug you in public even if I think it's awkward anyway

 

Because I love you I will give you advice when you ask

 

And let you think when you don’t

 

Because I love you I know time with other people is what keeps you afloat

 

Because I love you I won’t touch your neck even if I think its funny how you jump

 

Because I love you I will know when it's time to let you go

 

Though I hope that time never comes

 

Because I love you...
