I Promise

Because I love you

I trust you

I support you in what you chose to do

I understand that you’re not perfect

And I don’t expect you to be

Because I love you

I want you to do what makes you happy

I think you deserve the best in life

I won't judge you for mistakes you might make

And I will forgive you for the ones that you do

Because I love you

I don't need to have control in your life

I won't tell you who to hang out with

I can't let you become my whole life

But I will still spend a lot of my time with you

Because I love you and I love being around you

And there is nothing wrong with that

Because I love you

If we fight, I promise I won't get physically aggressive

I will try my best to remain calm

I will still answer when you call

I won't withdraw from you

And I will never blame you

Because there are two sides to every story

Because I love you

I will always stand with you when you need

I will never be little you or your accomplishments

I will stay true to who I am

And I hope that you will never stop being you

Because I love you

I hope you know those words mean something to me

I hope they mean something to you too

And when I say "because I love you"

Know that I will never use it against you

I will never use it to manipulate you

Simply because I really do love you
