#BecauseILoveYou


Because I love you,

which, honestly,

took some time to get used to,

I had to start seeing things from your point of view.

I had to take the rough with the smooth, 

as do you because

if I have to compromise and sacrifice, so should you,

that is just what people in love do.

If one us got our way all the time,

whether it be just me or just you,

it most definitely would not work out between us two

I think we got the hang of it now though,

we know just what to do.

When I think about all the things we been through,

it just doesn't seem worth it if it wasn't with you

You are my shoulder to cry on and

I am the person you could lean on too,

especially when either of us is feeling kinda blue.

No matter what I decide to do, you help me to push through

and you say, "Baby, I am so damn proud of you."

So, my love, my heart goes out to you

Because everything I do, I do it for you.
