#BecauseILoveYou


In first grade, I played with glue and made dirt pies

I was mean to you because I really liked you

You swore you could see beyond my "lies"

 

In sixth grade, I was a nerd for Halloween

You told me I should've been what you see me as... a queen. 

And from that moment I knew, we would go together like socks and shoes

 

Because I love you, I lay my head on your chest

I listen how your heartbeat perfectly matches mine

That's my most favorite thing to do, the thing I like best

 

Because I love you, I cherish spending hours at a time with you

When it's time for you to leave me, I come to my senses that it's just never enough

Whenever I see you again, I get butterflies and an unexplainable rush

 

You let me tell you all my corny jokes and do all the crazy things I do

You never give up on me 

Because I love you, I'll never give up on you

 

Because I love you, I could never imagine you not in my life

Without you it just won't seem right

Since that Halloween night, our connection is more than just tight

 

I love the way out bodies fit together 

I love it when you stare

I love when you tell me I'm beautiful in whatever I wear.

 

Because I love you, I'll stay with you if you couldn't bend you knees

I'm in love with you, because you're you

That's clear for the world to see

 

Everyone tells me I don't know what love is 

His love touches my soul

That lets me know, he's way more than a hand to hold

 

Because you love me you've always stood by my side

You never left due to mistakes that took place

And because you love me... I have so much pride
