Because I love you, I look you in the eye.

I scan your body

Knowing every line

Because I love you, I can’t watch you cry.

I stand up to ones

That know why

Because I love you, I hold your hair.

All the others

Stand and stare

 

Because I want you, I touch your waist

You slide your hands

Slow the pace

Because I want you, I let you lead

You move your feet

the perfect speed

Because I want you, you decide

No pressure

Or need to hide.

 

Because I miss you, I remind you of me

You talk back

One day it will be

Because I miss you, I play back songs

You let me know

It won’t be long

Because I miss you, I feel pain

Your heart aches too

It’s all the same

 

Because I love you,

I treasure you

Because I love you,

I think of you

Because I love you,

I trust in you
