Because I Love You


Love? What is love?

Love isn't putting each other down,

It is helping each other when they need it.

 

Love? What is love?

Love isn't yelling at each other and not listening to each other,

It is listening to each other and trying to understand their side.

 

Love? What is love?

Love isn't acting like your superior over one another,

It is treating each other as equals.

 

Love? What is love?

Love isn't getting up and leaving the minute things get hard,

It is staying with other and working things out.

 

Because I love you, I will help you get stronger.

 

Because I love you, I will listen to you.

 

Because I love you, I will treat you as my equal.

 

Because I love you, I will not leave when things get hard.
