Because I Love You


I promise I'll protect your soul and heart. 
Guide you when you’re feeling lost. 
Your mind and soul is like art, 
That I need to protect at all cost. 

I will trust you and give what you ask. 
I will respect you, your thoughts, and wishes. 
To make you happy and feel my love is my task,   
That will be my ambition. 

But I broke that promise. 
I let my jealousy control my love. 
You know I hurt you, you must be honest. 
Im sorry dear, but I didn’t put you above. 

"Because I love you" was my reason to control. 
“Because I love you” is why now my heart has a hole.
