Because I Love You

The other day you asked me

Why would I stay with a boy like you.

You said there we hundreds of others

Out there that would be so much better for me.

So here's my answer

Because I love you.

I can't trust those other boys 

They lie through their teeth

Cheat like there's no tomorrow

They don't listen to my pointless dramas

They disrespect my dreams.

But you 

You are perfect

I can trust you to have a night out 

You listen to me, you believe in me

You push me to be my best, you support me

I can talk about anything with you

I feel safe in your arms

You treat me like a queen 

Like I placed the stars in the sky 

You stood up for me when no one else would 

And when I asked you why you treated

Me so well, like I was the greatest thing in the world.

You looked at me like I was crazy and whispered

Because I love you
