Because I Love You
We started out as friends
Just friends
until it became something much more
The way I felt about you, I have never felt about anyone else before
You were so patient, smart and kind
You made me feel safe, beautiful, and wanted
You always made me laugh and smile
Because every moment with you was worthwhile
I could be myself around you and tell you all my secrets
Because I knew you would cherish them and keep it
Sometimes we would argue and fight
Then not talk to eachother for the rest of the night
We would say hurtful things to eachother, even though we didn't mean it
You were sorry for saying those things, I knew because I could feel it
Even when we broke up, on and off again
From time to time
I was still yours and you were still mine
And in the end
We would run back into each other's arms again
Because I love you
I held you in my heart,my spirit and my dreams
But not everything was as it seemed
Where were you when I needed you the most?
Did you stopped caring, felt ashamed or both?
Even through the lies and mistakes
The pain and heartaches
I forgave you
Why?
Because I loved you
I loved you
But I had to let you go
It was for the best
I really thought you were different
thought you were not like the rest
But like I said before
Not everything was as it seemed
Because I loved you
I had to set you free
But it wasn't for you
I did it for me
Because I loved you
I learned to love myself more
I loved you
But I still love me more
I love me
