Love Is Not An Excuse

I want to stay in your arms always.

I can’t wait to be with you forever.

Because I love you, I can dream.

I really want you to spend your birthday with me.

You should come to my house for Christmas.

Because I love you, I want you to be with me.

Are you jealous that I spent the day with Lauren?

Bailey and I were just hanging out. It’s no big deal.

Because I love you, I can decide who else I spend time with.

Don’t push me away. Just say yes.

You’ll enjoy it, I promise.

Because I love you, I know when it’s the right time.

Because you loved me,

I was broken.

Because you loved me,

I was insecure.

Because you loved me,

I was lonely.

Because you loved me,

I forgot how to dream.

And then he loved me.

And I realized

you were wrong.

Love is not an excuse.
