Because We Love

by AlexisBerrier

What is love? Is it fear or is it lust? Is compassion and romance? Or merely something that we say To avoid turning to dust? Because I love you I am strong and strong-willed Because I love you I am no longer frail and ill Because I love you I am hopeful and kind Because you love me You smile and laugh Because you love me You have come to terms With your past Because you love me You are gentle and generous Because we love We no longer hurt Others with lies Because we love We made a promise To love until we die Because we love We now wear metal bands With pride Because we love We are now husband and bride
