Because I Love YOU


Love is selfless, never selfish

 

Love is freeing, never binding

Because I love you, I will stand by you through the good, and the bad

I will hold you tight, and forgive you, even when I get mad

Because I love you, I will be infinitely patient with you

Paint your skies when the only thing you can see is blue

I will hold your hand when you feel alone

When your well is empty, my love I will give without loan

I will cry on your shoulder, and let you cry on mine

When you’re in distress I won’t believe it when you say “I’m fine”

Because I love you, I will listen to what you have to say

I will hold you tight on any day

I will make sure I know how you feel, tell me your troubles, let it all spill

I will feed you, and help you, and keep you warm

Sheltering you during every storm

I will hold you, care for you, show you how special you are every single day

Reminding you that together, we can make it through the fray

Love is being your buddy, and your best friend

Making you laugh when you feel like hard times will never end

I’ll love all of you, even your scars

Where you see darkness, I’ll show you the stars

Love is fidelity, and virtue, and infinite loyalty

I will show you that to me, you are divine royalty

Be mine forever, and I’ll yours

I’ll never leave you, this little world we’ve created is ours

I will trust you with my heart, and all my fears

I know that you will be here to wipe away all my tears

Because I love you, there’s no till’ death do we part

I’ll love you forever, you’ll always have my heart.
