#BECAUSEILOVEYOU


I hold your heart in my hand

Because I love you

 

I do not squeeze it

I do not bend

 

I hold your hand in public

I give you all my trust

 

I protect your virgin love

Even though I lust

 

I promise to keep your heart

Safe and sheltered

 

I hold your heart in my hand

Because I love you
