He is not an a verb

But an adjective in my life

A soul rememberence of who I am

A constant thought in my mind that brings me up like lettered blocks in a childhood memory

"Because I love you":

Not a shame that you feel in the pit of your being,

But the blessing of knowing you're alive

"Because I love you":

Is not the pitty on yourself nor the blame that crushes yourself down to nothing,

But a young-blood child that whoops in life's enjoyments because it's beautiful

Yes,

Love...

Is what wraps around you like the sun of yesterday's tomorrow,

Hung in the Texas sky like my, my, my

Yes!

Love is no counterfeit or fraud,

But a truth that lays itself out like roses in a troubled field

A wholeness that fills your chest with the blossom of life

Butterflies and pride in working together with heads together towards one thought

"Because I love you":

Does not bow to "things" or empty pleasures and poison tongues,

But kneels down and marries your hand with kisses because two is one

"Because I love you":

Shame is not thrown like darts at another's head and wrapped around the neck like chaines because you can't handle pain

But is spoken in soft whispers of open hurt to the only one who can understand and comfort you like your troubled-head's pillow

Yes,

Love is divine and empowered in the equation of two equaling one

An eagle that rises above the troubles and glorifies in the humble triumphs,

Understanding of human sins and pain

"Because I love you":

Shares a knowledge of all things beautiful

Shares the hurt of all things painful

Shares the exchange of "I love you",

Encompassing the meaning that "love" is...

Humble

Patient

Kind

Beautiful

"Because I love you":

Is never taken for granted

Or thrown away

But taken in the soul like feeling the sun touch the skin

The universe reaching the earth

All powerful

All wonderful

Open to everything that is and isn't

"Because I love you",

I love myself
