What Love Is


Because I love you

I will always tell you so

I never want you to forget

You warm my heart and make me whole

 

Because I love you

I will wake up with you when you’re sick

Even though its late at night

You shouldn’t have to be alone

Because I love you

I will listen to you side

Even when I disagree

I will try to hide my pride

 

Because I love you

I will always respect your wishes

And even though I hate it

I’ll offer up to do the dishes

 

Because I love you

I will give you your own space

But I will always be here when you need me

I won’t leave without a trace

 

Because I love you

I will hold you when you cry

Whether you are sad or angry

I’ll hold you till your tears have dried

 

Because I love you

I will trust you with all my heart

Because we are honest with each other

And with trust we’ll never fall apart
