Because of You

Because of you,

I started taking a different route to class;

I found courage and asked you to lunch.

Because of you I learned what love is,

Because I love you,

I asked you to quit going to parties; 

I just want the best for you.

Because of you, 

I get up every morning knowing it will be a great day;

I no longer wake up dreading what's to come later that day,

but look forward to seeing everything the world has planned for me. 

Because I love you,

I learned respect;

I never want to see you hurting,

especially not because of me. 

Because of you,

I don''t text while driving;

I can go without talking to you for a few minutes,

Just to keep you from worrying if I make it home safely. 

Because I love you,

Your friends get you too;

It will make the time we do get with eachother even more special.

Because of you,

My life is easier and I know how to love.

Because I love you,

Because of you.
