Keep the Loyal

Because I love you I am by your side,

In your darkest hour, I will not hide.

As friends leave you and pass you by,

Family will stay, as do I.

Because I love you I tell you so,

I am in your heart wherever you go.

Though you may be 1,000 miles away,

I still think of you as I pray.

Because I love you I am loyal,

My love for you will never spoil.

When you cry I also weep,

When you jump I also leap.

Because I love you I have not left,

And all of your secrets I have kept.

We have been through a lot thick and thin,

Yet I still wonder where our story begins.

“Because I love you” can mean many things,

Our minds think different as human beings.

It should mean that as life goes on,

We should cling to those who have not gone.

For love is different in a family,

Blood ties you in unity.

As most friends prove to be untrue,

Keep the ones who tell you, “It’s Because I Love You.”
