Because I Love You
I catch a glimpse of your dimples when you laugh,
Thinking to myself,
Why are you still here?
I watch as you water the garden we planted together,
Thinking to myself,
Why are you still here?
I hear you tell me you love me when I'm having a meltdown,
Thinking to myself,
Why are you still here?
I feel you hold me close to you when I'm lashing out in anger,
Thinking to myself,
Why are you still here?
I sit in silence and cry as you clean up the broken glass from my behavior,
Thinking to myself,
Why are you still here?
I finally ask you through the tears
You do so much for me,
Why are you still here?
"Because I love you."
