Its Because I love you


It’s Because I Love You Sometimes I close my eyes and there lies a story Of you and me It’s a story not unknown to fairytales or daydreams And sometimes I feel like it can’t be as good as it seems Each memory fills the story- our story As we grew and played without a care or a worry Memories of teasing and laughing together Sometimes I like to pretend I can go back and relive those moments forever Because this story changed me, made me happier and braver from the start And throughout the pages and chapters you slowly stole my heart Sometimes I wonder how it all came to be You and me And sometimes I can’t help but wonder why Every time I think of you and me I always seem to smile I fumble for reasons why I got so mad or let you see my jealous side As I remember how you fought to remind me you were on my every side I can’t help but ask myself what I was possibly thinking, Giving my heart to a boy I knew would be leaving. But than I like to remember how content and safe I felt, How one look at your side smile could instantly make my heart melt People try to tell me two years down the road we could never be You and me But to this I can’t help but deny their words and say it isn’t true Because looking back at what we had, it won’t change in a year or two Don’t worry I will still live and my life wont come to a stop But know that you’re a boy that seems impossibly hard to top And through the distance and through the time that I know will come our way I want you to know I’m willing to see what happens as we take it day by day When people ask me why I feel this way or when I find myself questioning it too Me and you I will go back to the pages of our memories and replay our story again That way it will remind me what it was like to be as happy as we were back then Because as I read and remember too I know I will find the reason why Becoming as clear to me as the night we said goodbye As if it’s something I think I already knew It’s because I love you.
