Because you loved me
Because you love me…
This morning my outfit was inappropriate.
My slightly worn jeans
And long sleeve black shirt
Was scandalous
Because I love you…
I had to change
So when I walk into school
I wear jeans that are 4 sizes too big
And your hoodie.
You caught me putting on makeup yesterday
So today, my face is clear.
Because you love me…
Check in babe
First hour is over, I need to put my phone away before they take it
Because I love you…
No boys.
Because you love me…
Today I am working on a project
There are two boys in my group
You told me not to talk to them
They are dangerous
Because I love you…
I have to get good grades
I have to break your rule
I'm sorry
But I'll tell you the truth
Because you love me…
Check in babe
Passing period now, next is L2K.
Because I love you…
I had to talk to those boys, I’m sorry but I'm doing it for you,
not because I believe I'm smart.
Because you love me…
L2K was an academic program
An honor to get into
Said to be impossible
But you hated it.
Hated the girls I was with
Because they said you were bad for me
Because I love you…
I should have picked language over science
So I’ll fail out of my impossible program
And go to school with you
Because you love me…
I should go sledding with you
Even though I have a concussion
You are bored
So I should go
Because I love me…
I said no
To someone new
Because you love me…
You support my decisions
It’s not about my body
But about how I feel in it
Because I love you…
I am confident in my choices
I wear what I want
And my cheeks turn red
When you show me off
To someone new
Because you love me…
You don’t get mad
When I’m busy and can’t respond
Instead you wait
And get excited when I do
Because I love you…
I answer when I can
And understand
Sometimes you’re busy too
To someone new
Because you love me…
You know the name
Of every guy friend I have
And laugh at the stories I tell of them
Because I love you…
I am honest about these friends
And never overstep the line
Because I choose you
To someone new
Because you love me…
You motivate me
To do the best I can
And care about my grades
And celebrate my victories
Because I love you…
I support your decisions
Even if they aren’t the same I would have made
Our core values are the same
And that’s what matters
To someone new
Because you love me…
You accept when I don’t want to see you
You know it’s not personal
Because I love you…
I am in a relationship with myself
And
I am in a relationship with you
