love, haha


Because I love you

You have to love me back

You'll do as I say

Don't you dare talk back

 

Because I love you

I'll have you to myself

It's either me or them

Delete their contacts off your cell

 

Because I love you

When I text, you must text back

If you dare to ignore me

I'll find out your tracks

 

Because I love you

This is how you'll be treated

You have no say in this

Even if you feel mistreated

 

Love,

Oh how easily we abuse the word

Blinded by the things we say

Instead of the actions we take

 

Is there more to love

Than just saying "I love you"?

 

Regardless of what you think of yourself

I love you unlike anyone else

Your smile makes my heart skip a beat

Your existence alone swept me off my feet

You'd stay up 'til 3 listening to my troubled thoughts

We'd spill our hearts out about the things tearing us apart

You're there for me whenever I need you

I'll always be here if you ever need me too

You look at yourself and see a bunch of flaws

But I see nothing else besides the beauty that you are

I love you and all your imperfections and scars

I love you for you and everything that you are
