#BecauseILoveYou


Because I love you,

I tell you to wear your seatbelt.

Because I love you,

I tell you to finish your meals.

Because I love you,

I tell you that my heart melts.

Because I love you,

I tell you how I feel.

Because I love you,

I stay awake at night.

Because I love you,

I expose myself to be vulnerable.

Because I love you,

I allow myself to feel fright.

Because I love you,

I'm finally comfortable.

Because I love you,

I make sacrifices.

Because I love you,

I must say goodbye.

Because I love you,

We were in fool's paradise.

Because I love you,

I now cry.
