Because I Love You

Because I love you,

I can't wake you when you are sleeping,

Instead, 

I cover you in warmth with hopes that you won't wake.

Because I love you,

I make you dinner.

Whatever you desire,

I put it on a platter.

Because I love you,

I sit through all of your favorite movies.

I don't complain,

As long as you're happy, I'm happy.

Because I love you, 

I have become a better person.

With my best friend by my side,

I know I can accomplish anything.

Because I love you, 

I know that I can talk to you about anything.

Doesn't matter if you're angry with me,

You still take the time to listen to my problem.

Because I love you,

I have found and followed my dream.

You're encouragemnt every step of the way,

Has led me to where I am today.

Because I love you,

I know you don't judge me. 

Regardless of my mistake,

You're always there.

Because I love you,

I don't care about your past. 

I'm living in the now,

I love you for who you are today.

Because I love you,

You are the one I want to call mine.

I want to marry you,

To build a future with you.

Because I love you,

I notice the small things.

The way your voice sounds when you're upset,

Or when you don't call for weeks at a time.

Because I love you,

I know you don't love me.

You love another,

This I must accept.

Because I love you,

I want you to be happy.

Whatever choice you make,

As long as it makes you happy.

Because I love you, 

I can no longer love you. 

I must let you go,

So you can be happy.
