Sentence Structure


“Because I love you.”

Because.

Conjunction

For the reason that; since

Since I met you

Since the conjunction of our lives

My life was no longer one

But combine with yours

As two

Because

I.

Pronoun

Meaning oneself

I no longer meant me

When speaking of “I”

What “I” will do

What “I” will say

Is now inclusive of how it affects you

Because I

Love.

Verb

Like very much; find pleasure in

Our love is not a thing

I can not put it in a drawer for safekeeping

Or save you in my pocket

Only taking you out for my satisfaction

I love is a decision I make

Just as

I stay

Because I love

You.

used to refer to the person or people that the speaker is addressing

I am speaking to you

I am choosing for you

I am thinking of you

When I go about my life

The place in my heart that is in conjunction with yours

Is no longer just for oneself, but ours

As we chose to love a constant love

That I chose to only have for

You.

“Because I love you.”
