#BecauseILoveYou


Because I love you

I ran from the burning sensation in the back of my throat

Boiling like witches brew on all hallows eve

I raised my hand to wave as you looked my way

But looked like a fool smiling and high-fiving the non-existent hand in front of me

Because I love you

I found the courage to be the Lion in the jungle full of wicked creatures

I found the warmth of the fiery sun in your arms

As people always said “you’re beautiful yet cold like the snow”

You melted my exterior wall high enough to reach all the stars in the sky

But because I love you

I didn’t complain

I accepted the fact that I couldn’t be like a bear in hibernation and conceal my feelings

I found trust and peace in a chaotic world

all because I love you
