Because I love you


When I love you, you will know

I will ask you about your day

and listen to what you say

I will help when your hurt

and I will be there when you are at your worse

When I tell you I love you, you will know I mean it

I will tell you that you're beautiful and that you're my moon and stars

However, they do not compare to how beautiful you are. 

I won't tell you what to do, or where to be,

I won't take you away from your friends and family,

I wont do this because I want to live with you happily.

I will let you have your space, and I will walk away when I'm mad. 

I will also tell you that the worse thing is seeing you sad.

I will tell you one thing though, and you can take it anyway,

I will tell you that I do all of this because I love you,

and I wouldn't have you any other way.
