Thinking About You


Thinking About You
 
 
Love is what I think about when I think about you 
 Not lies, not pain, just gain
 You helped me to remember how to say my own name
 To look in the mirror and love who I am 
 Not yelling just telling 
 Not whining just fighting
 Fighting for something we both believed in
 That it doesn’t matter what size  
 What height or what race you are
  Love is beautiful 
 Just the way you are
 
 
 Because you loved me I’ll never be the same again
 You showed me that I am worthy to be taken out on a date 
 That I should never be called out of my name
 That I am beautiful in every single way
 
 
 You showed me that sex
 Is not a toy
 That my body is more than gum 
 That guys' chew, spit out and lick with their tongue
 You held me when I cried
  Told me that everything was going to be alright 
 Your arms are safety to me
 
 
 Because you loved me 
 You went away
 Because you loved me
 You kept me safe
 I never did get to say the way I loved you
 Because you loved me…
 
 No, wait, because I love you
 
 Because I love you explains who I am today 
 Because I love you I’m sitting here writing these words
  I would never get the chance to say 
 Because I love you
 I think about you
 Every
 Single
 Day
