Because I love you
Because I love you the love songs mean something to me again
I no longer want to skip them
Every word is an unsaid metaphor that sounds too much like your name
Because I love you I want to take care of myself again
You are the alarm clock that wakes me up in the morning
The warm hand that gently forces me out of bed
And feeds me waffles and mixed berries
Because I love you I am no longer sad
When I do not have the energy to love myself you do it for me
I am a flower picked from a meadow and placed in a glass vase
Slowly dying
Though you never once stopped watering me
You are the good hair day
The compliment I recieve occasionally
The bounce in my step
Because I love you, I can finally feel safe loving myself too
You told me that you hated the taste of lettuce and the first thought I had was
How I could live my life without ever eating it again
Why?
Because I love you.
