#BecauseILoveYou


Because I love you, I should not be afraid of you.

Because I love you, I should not have to change you.

Because you love me, you should not lie, cheat, or steal.

Because you love me, you should not doubt me, and I shall not doubt you.

Love is all around, they say.

But love is a shallow word that is most always taken for granted.

Love is true, love is passionate, love is patience.

Love is not doubtful, it is not toxic, and it is not one sided.

Love may be hard and it may be stressful, but because I love you,

we will work through anything and everything, till death do us part, all because you love me and I love you.
