A Real Love Story

Because I loved you

I got down on one knee.

Because I loved you

"yes" I screamed.

Because I loved you

I said "I do". 

Because I loved you

I did too.

Because I loved you

I planted a kiss.

Because I loved you

I felt pure bliss.

Because I loved you

I gave you my heart,

something no one could outbid.

Because I loved you

I sacrificed my body 

and bore three kids.

Because I love you

I work real late.

Because I love you

I'll stay up and wait.

Because I love you

I let you see me

when I am not strong.

Because I love you

I'll be here to hold you 

when things go wrong.

Because I love you 

I'll do what I can

to finish your list.

Because I love you

I'll give you some time,

and try not to persist.

Because I love you

I'll think about the years

we spent together.

Because I love you

I will too and know

they couldn't have been better.

But I know there are still many more to come.

Because I still love you.

And I do too.
