Because I love you: I love you, because...


I love you, because

you saved me from hell

abused everyday, with no one to tell

called a "bug-eyed bastard", and thrown against the wall

I looked forward to every weekend, just to see you at all

I love you, because

you are my only parent, my only grandparent as well,

you always thought about me before yourself,

and because you're proud of me despite I'm not proud of myself.

I love you, because you love me. 

Because I love you

I think about what you're doing all the time

I never thought I'd miss you or Colbie this much

but you're both always on my mind .

Because I love you

I try my hardest to find someone who'll give me a ride home

Four hours seems like forever when I don't have a car of my own.

But this Friday I'll see you both

and I've been waiting for it since school began

I can't wait much longer, you two are my only friends. 

- To my Grandmother and Brother
