#BecauseYouLoveMe


Because you love me, I need a minute of your time.

Or more than that, an hour, or four. Is that fine?

Because you love me, call me every single day.

Talk to me. Or actually, just listen to me. I have a lot to say.

Because you love me, get me some stuff I want.

I must have this bag, this hat and this ring to flaunt.

Because you love me, say you'll never leave me.

When we die, let us both be buried under the same apple tree.

Because you love me, tell me you will stay loyal to me, even if I leave.

If I say I want to go away, make sure that you grieve.

Because you love me, you do not mind that I kissed a guy.

It was just one time, you'll get over it. It is not like you'll die.

Because you love me, you'll say okay to letting me spend the night there.

It will be safe, I guarantee, because I will be under his care.

Because you love me, you will let me do it again.

I promise that this time, I will not be under him. That obviously seems to offend.

Because you love me, come to school.

I noticed you have not been here for a while. Are you just spending time at the pool?

Because you loved me, you should have written me into your will.

Imagine my disbelief when your mother did not mention me. My scream then was loud enough to kill.
