Light in the Dark

The measure of one's honesty

Determines how they love

Wether or not they jump from stone to stone

Or settle down in one place

The first will be unhappy, for they will never be satisfied

The second will be on the flip side

Then truly honesty can make a man stand proud

Or collapse him to his knees

Through deciet and hatred honesty cuts through

Like a knife through butter

Or like a lamp through the darkness

Yes it is clear now

Honesty stands in the mouth of the cave

Acting as a light in the dark

The words Because I love you mean that no matter what, a loved one will be honest with you, no matter what. For it is only through this that trust can be built. And trust is the foundation of every relationship, wether good or bad. This is what the words Because I love you mean to me.
