I've Learned To Love Myself


Because you love me,

you don't let me go out alone.

Because you love me,

you know all my passwords.

Because you love me,

I can't wear that outfit. 

Because you love me,

you tell me when i'm acting crazy.

Because you love me,

I don't talk to anyone. 

Because you love me,

I don't need friends. 

Because you love me,

your fist show me its real. 

Because you love me, 

no doesn't really mean no. 

But, i've learned to love myself....

Because I love myself,

I know this is wrong. 

Because I love myself,

I don't believe you when you say it was all my fault. 

Because I love myself,

I won't be silent. 

Because I love myself,

I am leaving. 

Because I love myself,

I know I am better than this. 

Because I love myself,

I know this isn't real. 

Because I love myself,

I know I am strong. 

Because I love myself,

I won't let you break me.

But, now i've rebuild my life with someone new....

Because he loves me,

he holds me when I cry. 

Because he loves me,

he never hits me, no matter how angry he is. 

Because he loves me,

he makes me laugh. 

Because he loves,

he understands what you did to me.

Because he loves me,

he is patient. 

Because he loves me,

he asks me about the things I value most. 

Because he loves me,

he makes sure i'm happy.

Because he loves me,

he know I am complete without him.

But, there is no one i'd rather have by my side....

Because I love him.
