#BecauseILoveYou


I love you because…

You're brilliant. And Kind and Compassionate.

I love you because…

You're beautiful inside and out.

I love you because…

You make me smile after a bad day

Because I love you,

I don't want you to smoke

Because i love you,

You need to buckle up

Because i love you,

I cook dinner so you get your vegetables.

Because I love you,

You’d better be careful. So you come back home safe.

Because i love you,

I encourage you to make good friends.

Because i love you,

I push you to do the thing you love.

Because i love you,

I feel so very happy when i see you happy.

I get jealous, I get mad. I scream, I yell, I cry.

But because I love you,

It's never pointed at you.

Because I love you,

I’ll take a deep breath and try to talk to you.

Because i love you,

I’ll do anything to work this out.

I am not perfect, neither are you.

But our broken edges seem to fit together and make us whole.

Together we make something full of love.
