Because I love you

Because I love you,

I do for you what is best.

Because I love you,

I long for your happiness.

Because I love you,

I try to bring you a good life.

Because I love you,

Your problems also become my strife.

Because I love you,

I would do anything to set you on the right path.

Because I love you,

Even if that doesn't lead to where I'm at.

Because I love you, 

Because I respect you.
