Because I Love You
Because I love you,
I worry.
I worry
about if your day is going well,
and if you're doing okay.
I worry
about if I am doing everything in my power
to keep your head above water
when your sadness
is causing your lungs to fill with water
and you can't seem to find a reason
to keep fighting.
I worry
Because I love you.
Because I love you,
I invest.
I invest time
into making our relationship
the strongest it can be,
whether it be by sitting with you while you study,
or listening to what keeps you up at night,
or being a shoulder for you to lean
or cry on.
I invest ideas
on how I can put a smile on your face,
and make you laugh,
for your happiness is important to me
and makes me happy as well.
I invest
Because I love you.
Because I love you,
I worry,
and I invest,
and I care,
so that I can make sure you are happy
and know that you are loved.
Because I love you,
your happiness
and well-being
comes before my own.
