Stained Love

Because I love you I laughed at your jokes

Because I love you I put you above any of my friends

Because I love you I always answered your calls

Because I love you I made sure you drove home safe

Because I love you I got on you about drinking enough water

Because I love you, your interests became mine

Because I love you I didn't mind when you stopped texting me

Because I love you I made excuses for your behaviors

But most of all, because I love you... I began putting myself first
