Me, You, Us

Because I love you

We stay up until about 3 am just telling 

each other stories

We lie in the same bed beside eachother 

allowing our mouths to express our worries

Because I love you

I confide in you because you are always there

just like my diary,

Whenever I feel stuck,

you regenerate my happiness with just a little rewiring

Because I love you

I am not here because I need to be

There because I have to be 

Instead, because I want to be

Because I love you

I remain by your side

Until death do us part, yet in this case,

we won’t die

Because I love you 

You are perfect in my eyes

In need of no change

you are the one they all despise

Attachments are seen to be so unhealthy 

but I have never felt any stronger

My days are always moving so fast 

But with you, my nights have become longer

Because I love you

You don’t make me prove it to you everyday 

You don’t tell me to “just go” if you’re angry that I won’t stay

Because I love you 

You don’t shut me out

You hear me and you listen to understand what I’m about

Because I love you 

You are not here because you need to be

There because you have to be

Insead, because you want to be

Because I love you 

You don’t make me empty my pockets to keep a smile on your face

You are just as happy as at home with a “do it yourself” kind of date

Because I love you 

You don’t disrespect my body

You realize that it is mine, not yours

Not anybody’s 

Bonds like this are criticized and yet,

our hearts grow fonder

because in and out

we are here to understand each other
