#BecauseILoveYou


Because I love you, I don't want you to leave me I know it's too early for me to say I Love You But...I really do Love is seeing your face and having my heart flutter Love is seeing you cheer me on when I overcome my anxiety, just a little bit Love is the watching the sun shine over your face It's all this and so much more Love is not just about me though, it's about us Love is encouraging one another to try new things You made me try sushi and I made you go on a rollercoaster We both threw up afterwards, but I loved you still Love is backing each other up in stressful situations Like keeping each other awake during an all day Movie Marathon You kept me awake, as tired as I was. But I still love you Love is being able to go a while without talking Simply enjoying the pleasant atmosphere and hearing your heartbeat Love is also being there for one another And understanding that sometimes life is unfair Love is going through long dark days together Standing strong against disaster and personal losses Holding each other down, keeping one another from falling apart Love is looking into your eyes as you walk down the aisle And looking at your back as we separate, never to cross paths again Love travels across the sea and to the other side of the world It's the cream in your coffee, the computer screen with a face on it, it's the letters I receive every Christmas It's loving the image in the mirror and letting go of the past It has no set meaning, giving it a universally ambiguous meaning So, Because I Love You I want you to find this poem and save it To remind you that love is Exactly what you make of it
