Because I Love You: Free Verse


Because I Love You

-Morgan Tellez

 

~ Because I love you,

~ Should you feel worried?

~ Should you feel anxious?

~ Should you feel afraid?

~ Afraid that I won't care for you?

~ Afraid that I won't listen to you?

~ Afraid that I won't stay with you?

~ The answer is no,

~ no,

~ Nobody should feel that,

~ But some of us have,

~ I have,

~ I know the feeling,

~ And because of that,

~ I don't want that for you,

~ Because I love you,

~ Don't be worried,

~ I'll keep you safe,

~ Don't be anxious,

~ I'm listening,

~ Don't be scared,

~ Because if I wanted to,

~ I would leave,

~ But I won't,

~ Because I love you,

~ And I hope,

~ That you can say the same.
