because l love you


Because l love you l let the pain hurt and the anger burn But l do not turn away l cannot leave you Because l love you l dry my tears with one hand and the other to hug you for l don't want to let go because l love you l give all my trust even when all l get is ridicule l lose myself to give you a platform to live even if l know we are headed for doom l believe in you and stand by because love tells me one day on these thorns the roses will grow.
