"Why?"

October 3, 2017

"Because I love you"

Psh, that's your answer for every "Why."

"Why do you do what you do?"

"Because I love you."

"Why do you hit me?"

"Because I love you."

"Why do you force yourself on me?"

"Because I love you."

Here I am, asking myself the same questions,

And I get the same answers.

"Why do I let you do what you do?"

"Because I love you."

"Why do I let you hit me?"

"Because I love you."

"Why do I let you force yourself on me?"

"Because I love you."

"Why would we never last?"

"Because I don't love me."
