#BecauseILoveYou


Baby your hands have the softest touch;

When they are wrapped around my body.

I woke up from a nightmare the other day;

I dreamt of pushing you far away.

 

You held me when I cried telling you this;

And kissed my forehead and said you'd stay.

 

Honesty.

 

Honestly I use to believe I didn't deserve this.

I kept thinking maybe you'd text me and say,

"I'm sorry but I love him";

I thought you'd never stay.

 

But that was the old me I believe you,

When you tell me you're just running late.

 

Trust.

 

Trustingly I gave you a place to stay.

Where deep in my heart;

I knew what you were thinking.

But would never say.

 

Home.

 

Home is where the heart is they say.

Because I love you I know deep in my soul;

That you are the one who will always stay.
