Because I Love You


Because I love you

I stayed up late listening to your day

Because I love you

I chased after you when you got mad and walked away

Because I love you

I spent an entire day watching your favorite show

Because I love you

I took that trip to where you wanted to go

Because I love you

I made you soup when you felt bad

Because I love you

I took you home to meet mom and dad

Because I love you

I wiped your tears when you started to cry

Because I love you

I reminded you how much you matter when you wanted to die

Because I love you

I laugh everyday

Because I love you

I know there is always a way

Because I love you

I have the courage to fight

Because I love you

Everything feels right

Because I love you

I can truly be me

Because I love you

I have never felt so free

Because I love you

I have a shoulder to cry on

Because I love you

I have a friend I can rely on

Because I love you

I believe I can fly

Because I love you

I’m no longer afraid to try

Because I love you

I am never alone

Because I love you

I have a place to call home
