“Because I love you”


You do not have to face discomfort 

because of the widely used 
“Because I love you”
Love in its purest form is healing,helpful,and healthy 
It shelters no hate,it is a small piece of heaven 
It doesn’t put you through hell
It purifies and protects 
It soothes,saves,and supports
You do not have to have intimacy with a person who only seeks pleasure 
Who is lustful and not loving 
“Because I love you” will be used as a bouquet of affection,but in reality will be used as a bullet to make you collapse into pressure 
My dear,do not fall into diminishing desire 
Do not give them power over your personality 
Do not let them change your character 
Be with someone who complements you like the sun complements the moon 
Real romance radiates light 
“Because I love you” should be no excuse or explanation 
Love is gentle,genuine,and graceful 
It is not violent or vile 
Love cures and cares
