Because I love you, I...


Because I love you

I supporting you when you need supporting

Ease your mind when it’s thwarting

Treat you the way you should be treated

Make sure you never feel defeated

Ensure good times and happy days

Persevere through all the hardships and delays

Because I love you

When you talk I will listen and try to understand

I will ask you when I need something, be respectful not demand

Abuse isn’t just physical it can be mental and verbal too, but this is something I will never do to you

I won’t mess with your head and bring up the past, we’ll focus on here and now

But also our bright future where we’ll still be together, because that is what I vowed

Because I love you

I’ll compromise and realize it’s not just me but us, I can sacrifice to benefit our relationship and not make a huge fuss

I can express concern, and realize we won’t always agree

I can do this without screaming and yelling, knowing that patience is key

Because I love you

I can change as we’re growing together

Knowing that I’m not losing me

It just means that for you I’m becoming the best I can be

Because I love you

I’ll be open with how I feel and not bottle things up inside

I understand that you are my partner and someone in which I confide

Because I love you

I won’t see you as weak and take of advantage of that

I’ll see you as equal and help you be strong

You won’t be on the sidelines because by my side is where you belong

I won’t complain to my family or friends and let them get too involved

That’s how problems are created and things won’t get resolved

Because I love you

I can be considerate, honest, kind, and caring

Not vindictive, devious, and overbearing

I can control my temper and not lash out

I’ll build you up, not fill you will self-doubt

Because I love you

I will do so unconditionally

I will love you more than words can explain

That is something no one can taint

Because I love you I will really truly love you
