because I love you.

 

Care towards your needs over selfishness, 

because I love you. 

 

Lifting you up rather than forcing you down, 

because I love you. 

 

Welcome your differences rather than critique them, 

because I love you.

Love is an action I devote to showing you everyday, 

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
