Because I love you

I don't tell you I go home and cry because I can't speak Spanish with your mom.

Because I love you

I don't tell you when I get lonely because we're both busy and can't see each other.

Because I love you

I don't tell you when I'm very sad, because all it does is make you want to die.

 

Because I love you

I won't eat that.

Because I love you

I won't cut my hair short.

Because I love you

I won't hurt myself.

 

Because I love you

I'm getting better.

 

Because I love you

I work hard so we can buy our home soon.

Because I love you

I see that life has light and holds meaning.

Because I love you

I can't wait to get married and have kids with you.

 

Because I love you

I love life now, too.
