Not a love story


When did the Because I love you’s turn to something that made me flinch?

At first it was because I love you I’ll lay here with you until you fall asleep

It was because I love you please let me know you got home safely

Because I love you I'll dry your tears

Because I love you I’ll make sure you know you can trust me

Because I love you I'll give you your space

Now it’s because I love you you need to text back faster

It’s because I love you you'll lay here beneath me

Because I love you you'll listen to the rules

Because I love you you'll stay still

Because I love you’ll let me see your phone

Because I love you I'll hurt you

Because I love you its ok

Because I love you you can't leave me

Because I love you I'll kill myself

Because I love you I'll kill you

and I always respond because I love you I'm still here
