Introduction


Because I love you I allowed you into my home

and introduced you to my family

Because I thought you were the one

I wanted to bring you around my friends so I could show them

You were different from the last

Because I wanted us to last

I told you all my secrets

Even the dark ones

Even the private ones

Because you are my soul mate

I didn’t give up during arguments because

I know good relationships take time and effort

Because you are my everything

I bought you everything

And never once second guessed spending all my money

On you

Because I trust you

I let you see what no other man has ever been able to seen

I let you help me with my anxiety attacks

And I let you know about my depression

Because I love you

I will never do anything to lose you.

But

Because you love me you came to visit my family

Even thought you didn’t think you were ready

Because you love me

You came to hangout with my friends

Even though they annoyed you

Because you wanted us to last

You opened up like a diary

And let me write all over you

Even if you didn’t know how to handle it

Because I am your soul mate

You tried to be perfect and not start arguments

Even though we’d end up arguing anyway because

We couldnt figure out what type of food to get

Because I am your everything

You gave me everything

Even if that meant working extra work shifts

Just To take me to dinner

Because You trusted me

You let me see what no other women has seen before

You told me all there is to know about you

Because you love me

You got down on one knee
