#BecauseIloveYou


Because I love you

I'll sneeze and sniffle

Waiting for you in the rain

Because I love you

I get angry and scream your name

Because I love you

I now have tangerine summers and strawberry skies

Now I notice blooming poppies blowing in the cinnamon wind

And how it feels to touch a fickle thorn

Because I love you

I'm no longer afraid to jump into a babbling brook that bubbles with crashing uncertainty

Because I love you

I no longer feel apologetic for blending every color in my palette of vibrancy

Because I felt like it

Because I love you

I'll step back two hundred and twelve miles

And jump into the babbling brook alone

Because I love you

I'll notice the lonely poppies and smell the sour citrus summers at home

Because I love you

I'll stand in the middle of the rain

Sneezing and sniffling in the once sweet cinnamon wind

But because I love you

I'll try to find the beauty in the suffocating cinnamon

But because I love you

I'll sing in the cold rain

But because I love you

I'll lay among the once lonely poppies

and make a funny face in the midst of the sour summer

But because I love you

I'll conquer the babbling brook and bend the rushing waters to my certainty

But because I love you

I cant wait till the day you'll step forward two hundred and twelve miles

When I'll be able to show you all the new things I discovered while exploring our little old world on my own.
