True? Fake?


Because I Love You,

I want to spend my life with you,

I want to be there through ups and downs,

I want to be your best friend forever,

Because I Love You.

 

Because I Love You,

I will only support what I want you to do,

I will only let you follow in my footsteps instead of your own,

I will only let you live life to the fullest when I am,

Because I Love You.

 

Because I Love You,

I want to explore our dreams together,

I want to listen when you are talking, no matter what the topic,

I want to grow together,

Because I Love You.  

 

Because I Love You, 

You should do as I say,

You should never be your true self around my family and friends,

You should only talk when I say to, 

Because I Love you. 

 

Because "I Love You", 

Is it True love?

Or is it the Fake love?
