Because I Love You I...


Because I love you I won't pry,

Not unless you want me to.

Because I love you I won't go behind your back,

Not unless it's for something to help you.

Because I love you I will support you,

Unconditionally and without limits.

Because I love you I won't cry when you're gone,

Not because I didn't care

But because that isn't what you would have wanted.

Because I love you I keep you on my back.

Because I love you your ashes are somewhere I'll see them every day.

I love you because you were my brother

Who inspired me to do great things

And to try harder than I had before.
