Because I loved you

Because I loved you, I let you go. 

Because I loved you, I let you take pieces of me that weren't for sale. 

Because I loved you, I put your happiness before mine. 

I watched from the sidelines as you learned to love someone else. You came to me when she wasn't there, but we spoke with different meanings. 

Because I loved you, I lied about my feelings so your guilt would fade.

Your guilt is gone, and so is my dignity. 

Because I loved you, I sacrificed myself. 

Because you didn't love me, you let me. 

Because I love you, I would do it again.
