Because I Love You
The first time our eyes met we felt a connection
Automatic, we drove straight into adolescent affection
Our love was forbidden, everything was kept hidden
From the eyes of others our love was objectionable
To us it started to become questionable
There were days where we pretended we didn't know each other
Some days where we were always together
Days where I wouldn't hear a single word from you
Days where I wouldn't even get to see you
I put so much trust into you so I didn't think much of it
Trust and loyalty was what kept us closely knit
Nowadays monetary value defines a "real" relationship
Then this relationship must be odd
No exchange of gifts, just feelings robbed
You had nothing and you gave me nothing
But it didn't matter to me
You accepted all my flaws, I accepted all your faults
You taught me lessons to life
I taught you lessons to life
Neither of us cared about our dark background
Acceptance to the truth was the way around
As time passes our loves turns toxic
All that was built becomes chaotic
You left.
I didn't stop you, I couldn't hold on to you because you and I both knew we were weighing each other down
I had to let you go for the sake of us to grow as beings
To recover from the emotional scars we've left
Somehow you always seem to come back
They say that times flies but you keep breaking its wings
The thoughts where I fantasize of you and I waking at sunrise no longer crosses my mind
I constantly have to push you away, I apologize
I had to let go for the better
To let you see what you really want in life
To focus on your priorities
To better yourself as a person
To realize reality
We must say goodbye
With glazed glistening teary eyes you stare and ask me "Why?"
And I say
"Because I love you."
