Because you loved me... ("Like a friend")


Because I am I your best friend, I love you.

I love you, so I'll send you texts about how great you are.

I love you, so I'll always be there.

I love you, so I'll help you when you are down.

I love you, so you can trust me with your secrets.

I love you, so I was here when you went to the hospital.

I love you, so you can help me when I'm feeling down.

I love you, so it's okay?

I love you, so you know my best and worst.

I love you, so it's okay when I make mistakes.

I love you, so when I hurt you it's an accident.

I love you, I'm sorry I keep causing drama.

I love you, please don't leave me.

I love you, I need you.

I love you, I’m the only one who is here for you.

I love you... Do you remember anything from last night? No?

Because I love you I'll lie and say nothing happened.

Because I love you I'll lie and say I just kissed you.

Because I love you I'll say it was your idea.

Because I love you I'll pretend it was consensual

Because I love you it's okay right?

Because I love you please talk to me again.

Because I love you answer the phone.

Because I love you, I need you.

Because I love you like a friend it's okay.

Because I love you like a friend it meant nothing.

Because I love you stop making this a big deal when it's not.

Because I love you just be my friend again.

Because I love you answer the phone.

Because I love you I'll get all my friends to text you to talk to me.

Because I love you I'll leave voicemails everyday.

Because I love you please come back.

Because I love you be my best friend again?

Because I love you stop making this such a big deal jesus.

Because I love you it wasn't wrong.

Because I love you please return my calls.

Because I love you answer my texts.

Because I love you like a friend it was okay right?

Because I love you, you have a panic attack whenever you hear my voice.

Because I love you, you miss me so much.

Because I love you, I knew more than anyone else ever did about you.

Because I love you, you miss me-

Because I love you, you listen to my voicemails at night and cry-

Because I love you, you blame yourself-

Because I love you, you think it's your fault-

Because I love you, you haven't told anyone else-

Because I love you, you still feel guilty-

Because I love you, you go in and out of hating me.

Because I love you, you still miss me.,

Because I loved you, you still can't bring yourself to say what happened.

Because I loved you like a friend you're still afraid to call it sexual assault.
