I love you because I


I love you because I love you
 
Because I love you, I am weak
Because I love you I put a wall up
I love you because, you are home 
Because I love you, fear over fills my mind
I love you because you make my heart hurt
Because I love you, I put up with “ you’re 17 you don’t know what love is” 
I love you because I am grateful 
Because I love you I over analyze 
I love you because I have a reason to wake up
Because I love you I walk away 
I love you because you help me put the bottle down
Because I love you jealousy overrules me
I love you because my nightmares leave
Because I love you, I stop hanging out with friends
I love you because I couldn’t fathom suicide
Because I love you, our relationship gets bipolar
Because I love you, I lie 
 
I love you because I love you -ga
