#BecauseILoveYou


Because I love you, you should

ditch that dinner, because you can come hang out with me,

break your moral values, because we would have a good time,

stop doing your homework, because I'm more important,

and since I love you, you should pay me back by doing these things.

But if you loved me, you wouldn't ask me to do things you know contradict myself.

My family.

My morals.

My education.

If you loved me, you wouldn't ask for this. Because I love you, you should

buckle your seat belt, cause I need you safe tonight, 

come with my family to church, because I would love to share our faith,

do your homework and text me later, because I have the highest of hopes for you,

and since I love you, I will not let you settle for anything less than the praise and love you truly deserve.
