Because I Love You
Because I love you,
I can get up in the morning. It may be a simple thing,
But the way you smile at me when you see me get out of my car
Bedhead, too hot tea, and bad jokes and all?
It makes it worth it.
Because I love you
Each day is worth living because it's another day in a world with you in it.
You are the one I am comfortable being with, ever since we met
Eight years ago.
I've loved you since I met you
Even when I didn't know how to love myself.
You opened my eyes and heart to a world I didn't understand, and you
Didn't understand either.
But we had eachother, and
Because I love you
It was enough.
Because I love you
I'm writing this poem.
Love is intangible but I think
I can feel it when I hold your hand
When you text me good morning
When you offer me a peppermint when I cry.
Because I love you
I know how to love the world.
Because I love you.
And you love me too.
