Love Like Many Others
A bouquet of flowers
"because I love you."
A box of chocolates
"because I love you."
A ring on one knee
"because I love you."
A holiday trip
"because I love you."
An angry red face
"because I love you!"
Pounding the table
"because I love you!"
A punch in the face
"because I love you!"
A chase down the street
"because I love you!"
A bouquet of flowers
"because I love you."
A brand new dream house
"because I love you."
Controlling her phone
"because I love you."
Removing her family
"because I love you."
Getting angry again
"because I love you."
Raising a fist
"because I love you."
Watching her cower
"because I love you."
Doing it again and again
"because I love you."
Sleeping with another girl
"because I love you."
Leaving her for her
"because I love you."
"Because I loathe you."
