#BecauseILoveYou


Because I love you

Not because I want to control you.

Because I love you, I hug you,

Not possesively, not too tight,

But enough to let you know that I care.

Because I love you.

Because I love you,

I will not separate you from your friends.

No, not because I'm nice.

Because I love you.

Yes, I will get jealous.

Yes, I will get nervous, but

I will NOT separate you from the world.

Nor will I hit you.

Or speak to you in such a way that you will fear me. 

Because I love you, I will not hurt you.

There will be times we argue, yes.

But I will not get angry. 

I will reason, but I will not yell.

Because I love you

I will try my best to protect you

Because I love you

I will be good to you.
