Love
Because I Love You
I hear you
Not just the words you utter from your lips,
but the ones that remain unspoken
Every inflection, tone,
word that ends up broken
As you quiet and try to hide your true feelings inside that chipper tone and phrase
I can hear that today is not one of your better days
You may not believe it but trust me I’m listening
To every little detail,
even the ones you don’t mention
Because I Love You
I see you
You think no one notices
The difference in your laugh,
A far off look in your eyes unable to focus
Trying to stay grounded but looming behind is that dark place
Of those fears, doubts, insecurities
100 mph your mind starts to race
You smile to the world and say everything’s alright
But when you get home you cry into that same pillow every night
Despite the toll the trials of life start to take
Because I Love You
I see the light and beauty you continue to radiate
I hold you in my arms and tell you the same thing you tell me too
I’m Here.
Because I Love You
