Because LOVE


We will talk for hours but only you express yourself because I love you.

We will go on romantic dates but only can enjoy them because I love you.

We will hang out with friends but only you can enjoy yourself because I love you.

We will be intimet but only you get satisfaction because I love you.

I have to only say what you want to hear because I love you.

I have to only be gratefull to you for your time and generosity because I love you.

I have to have fun with "our" friends who always mock me because I love you.

I have to let you love me so I have to hide my bruses, aches, and pain because I love you.

You correct my infractions with your serrated words and hardened fists because you love me?
