Because I Love You

Dreams that taste like memories,
My tonuge twists in my mouth.
I feel your hand caress my cheek.
You catch a falling tear and wipe it, gently, away.
But your kiss is sterile, empty bland.
I found my person.
He makes me laugh like no one else does, and he makes me smile for no reason.
I get those butterflies around him, and I haven’t had those in a long time.
At a time when he’s needed most, he leaves your side.
At a time when you call for help, he hides.
Every day he’d gush words as sweet as honey;
Last semester
I entered another scholarship contest-Because I Love You
A slam against toxic teenage relationships
Writing that poem made me realize that I didn't know what healthy love looks like.
#BecauseILoveYou
What does it mean
Words whispered but the true meaning is one to be screamed.
A word with such power yet used too often
"Because I Love You"
Is a phrase I've heard far too often from
both Mom and You.
See, the difference is the intentions behind it.
"Because I Love You" from Mom
is like an overwhelming bear hug
I love you,babe.
I only manipulate you into doing what I want because I love you.
I tell you not to hang out with your friends, because I want you to spend every minute of your life with me, because I love you.
I never understood why they would fight all day,
Why he thought getting drunk would make all the problems go away,
Why she never acted upon what she would say,
I was jogging down the road one day
imbibing in the sun
The sky was clear, the air was sheer
as I went on my run.
At intervals I took a break
Momma tried to teach me,
She wanted a better life for me,
Than the one that was given to her,
But the life she lived,
Was different than the words she spoke,
Abuse could not be hidden with smiles.
‘Thermodynamic equilibrium
is defined as the state of an isolated system in which
there is no tendency for spontaneous change
a tenuous balance between unimaginable forces.’
Tricked and manipulated at a young age
And soon the bed became the stage.
You start to hear them always say that a girls first time is a memory that'll never change.
Soon enough, the pictures became the home page.
Ask me why I love you,
And I shall tell you what I love most about you.
No lies spill passed my parted lips,
Only truths that swell from my heart and fall out my mouth.
Ask me what makes our love healthy,
The heart is a rich, oak door
Locked from the inside out
Love is a living, passionate wind
Touching the door but lacking the key
You see, I locked the door before to keep from the robbers and rain
I can see you are not fine,
Even when you say so
You are hurting
Very badly
Deeply
Your heart is bleeding out
From the exhaustion, the little
Pricks of pain hat bursts in your aching heart
A mom, not just a mother.
She wakes me up in the morning with breakfast.
She tells me about my undying potential.
She shows me how to be a powerful woman.
All because
She loves me.
the words “because i love you”
have long since been distorted
in my head. there is much damage
to be undone
inside my heart
the words “because i love you”
have long since been distorted
in my head. there is much damage
to be undone
inside my heart
I knew it when I first saw you,
Though we were much younger then,
That you were special, you were meant to find me,
That I loved you.
The beginning was not easy,
We were young and irresponsible,
I keep time aside for you,
I want you to feel important,
I give you attention you deserve,
Because I love you.
I don't leave you hurt,
I ask what's wrong,
I fix what's broken ,
Because I love you
I will never hurt you
My hand shall not raise
Or meet your skin with a "thwap"
Becuase I love you
I will never stray
Nor will I even look their way
The stars in the skies aligned.
The infinite universe smiled.
In a second, our eyes met,
And everlastingly, sparks flied.
Our stardust souls intertwined.
Because I love you
I'd do anything for you
I'd walk through fire for you
I'd leave everything for you
Because I love you
I'd do anything to be with you
Do you feel that way too?
Love is like grass and rain.
You encourage me to thrive,
nurture me with appreciation,
and let me glow with a green luster.
Becasue I love you, he said,
when I asked him why?
Because I love you, he said,
when he made me cry.
Because I love you, he said,
when he told me what to wear.
Because I love you, he said,
Your smile sparks a light into my soul
Because I love you.
Your frown drags my soul
Because I love you.
Your happiness is what I respect
Because I love you.
Your laughter rings a melody in my ear
I can still feel three pairs of hands on my body
with three sets of fingers trailing my skin, my hair
six starry eyes gazing upon me
Embraced in your arms I felt so safe
We were one and the same
Here I could stay
Forever
Because I love you
Because I love you, every time a tear wets those adorable cheeks of yours, I will be there to wipe them away
Because I love you, your problems become my problems, and we will fight them side by side
She looked in my eyes and asked me, "What other things have you said before me?"Darling, where do I even begin?
It knows no boundaries and is deemed a necessity
It needs not approval and there is no recipe
It manifest from positivity, attraction, and hope
Because I love you, you love me.
Because I love you, I care about you.
Because I love you, the little things matter in life.
Because I love you, I'll put a blanket over you when you're asleep.
You would know when you understand.
And you would understand when you feel it,
If It’s the real kind of love,
The love that gives you freedom,
Because I love you means,
I wish for your happiness,
I desire your every flaw,
I support all the things you do,
I listen to your dreams.
Because I love you means,
Because I love you,
Your privacy is yours to keep
Your friends and your mind too
In sickness and in health I’ll stay
and never make you weep
The leaves tumble down,
All except for one.
She's already faded to brown,
But the tree thinks she's as gold as the sun.
She trembles at the cold,
And the tree knows it's time.
As a child my mother always told me, "That's very unhealthy."
as I dumped sugar and sodium laden foods into my stomach.
She suggested I choose low-calorie meals, guided me to exercise,
Love rains from your sunshine eyes,
Happy
Beautiful
Wonderful.
I cup my hands,
Love flooding over
#BecauseILoveYou
I forgave you each time
That you walked out of my life
And left me behind
I never caused you to do so
You just always found another
And made them your first choice, your main priority
Because I love you…
I don’t make you feel stupid.
I don’t make you do things unwanted.
I don’t keep you from your friends.
Because I love you…
I love you
But it doesn’t always show.
I love you
But you may not always know.
I don’t always see your clothing
Because i love,
A phrase used in so many ways
That many get confused
At the manners of those using it these days.
Using it in ways that
seem endearing to your ears
but, alas, are just distracting you
It's a crowded room, but all I
see is summer rain on cobblestones, and through
a rain-stained lens, something points my vision
to you.
Like the headlights of two cars
behind red lights at a midnight
Because I love you I will care for you,
I'll become your other home.
I'll be your best friend and your listener,
and I'll be your pillow to cry on.
Because I love you, we'll move in together,
Because I love you, I don’t jerk away like a frightened, little child everytime
you get close enough to touch me.
Because I love you, I don’t have to be a con artist, pretending to be someone
I'll stay awhile
To see your shining smile.
Lip caught in your teeth,
Smudging the paper to magically
Make a figure emerge.
Breathing life with your pencil with
The blood sneakily tinting
The day that I met you,
We were stuck like hot glue.
Because you were all I could cling to
When everything inside me felt dark blue.
The way you wanted me,
I always strived to achieve.
In a modern world, consumed by sex, one does not think of Love.
It is only the minority that still practice love, real Love.
Love is cute dates, Courtship, Kindness, kissing.
What is love?
Because I love you
I will trust you.
Because I love you
I'll have patience.
Because I love you
I'll remind you of your worth.
Because I love you
I love you because…
You're brilliant. And Kind and Compassionate.
I love you because…
You're beautiful inside and out.
I love you because…
We talked for hours everyday
Realized we needed each other to navigate life's way
We discovered new letters and formed our own language
Then learned the right words to relieve each other in times of anguish
A spark of emotion birthed a flaming relationshipText messages and posts proclaim the feelings you have to the worldYour once boring life took a spin, and FLIPThe problems in your life just vanished; unfurled
Because I love you, I will listen to you as you do to me.
Because I love you, I will kiss you goodnight and kiss you good morning.
Because I love you, I will cherish every second we spend together.
See the girl balancing there
Upon the rickety pedestal you built for her
Holding her aloft when she is afraid she might fall.
But she loves you
So she stays;
I tell you all my secrets
Without expecting yours in return
Every night when I can’t sleep
Your peaceful face helps me relax
Although I need constant control
You take the reins and I lean back
I let go
I love you because…
The love in your being
Stirs that of my heart.
Your fiat to me
Lets me know how to love.
Because I love you, you always listen to me.
Because I love you, you taught me how to see.
Because I love you, you taught me how to trust.
Because I love you, it is not lust.
I only have $10 in my pocket, but you can have it.
It's my last $10, but nothing in the world would make me happier than giving it to you.
I see that you're shivering, you can wear my jacket.
I thought I knew
knew what love was
when he held me
mentally, and physically
I thought love was to be
yelled at
put down
stretched thin
with nothing within
but to not be alone
Because I Love You,
I want to spend my life with you,
I want to be there through ups and downs,
I want to be your best friend forever,
Because I Love You.
Because I Love You,
I love you because...
Your arms are coming home;
warming me like a hearth,
without the fear of its flame.
Your voice is a stream;
You go every morning
Your warmth leaves my bedside
Our hands part each morning
But I know you love me.
You come home late
For you, I'll wait awake
No matter what it may be
Fear not, my dearest of them all
your words and thoughts
will be listened and cared for
not thrown in your face whenever we conflict
for this is our love
not an ownership
Fear not, my dearest of them all
your words and thoughts
will be listened and cared for
not thrown in your face whenever we conflict
for this is our love
not an ownership
Because I love you,
I waited months until I could first hold you,
To see your swaddled body in the hospital room.
Because I love you,
I stroked your curly dark hair as gently as I could because
Not because you bought me pink Barbie Dolls
Not because the bills on you at the mall
Not because how you spoil me after all.
Mom!
Regardless of your painful disapproval for his different complexion
Nichole Johnson: A Million Reasons
Diverse connotations of love.
There are a million reasons.
Communication is key,
Because I love you
I don't tell you I go home and cry because I can't speak Spanish with your mom.
Because I love you
I don't tell you when I get lonely because we're both busy and can't see each other.
Because you love me you sat up all night
Despite having work the next morning, early
So I could cry over nothing
Because my anxiety told me “Warning: OVERWHELMED”
Because I love you,
everything behind that fake facade.
It is not what is presented, as that is little more than a fraud.
My full support will always be with you.
Because I love you
Life is worth living.
Because I love you
I have meaning.
I trust what you do,
As I know,
I do not control you.
You have a life
I want you to live it.
Because I loved you, I didn’t give up on my feelings after you told me we wouldn’t work.
Because I loved you, I would scowl at every girl you would mention in our chats
I've never been shy with boys
I treat them the way I do everyone else:
As a friend
I'm never nervous around them
I always feel at ease
Sometimes
You give all you have to be with someone
And they don't care
Sometimes
You pour out your heart and soul to someone
And they laugh at you
Love hurts
Trusting hurts
Loving without return hurts
Trusting and being betrayed hurts
Loving and being broken hurts
People ask you why you like him
Why did you choose him above everyone else?
You smile slowly
It isn’t a simple question
So there isn’t a simple answer
Because I love you...
Words are kind but actions are sweeterBecause I love you…
You’re irresistible and I never want to leave you
Because I love you
I send good morning texts
And goodnight texts
Because I love you
I remind you to eat
And make sure you're okay
Because I love you
I break down knowing we won't last
I think about the way he grins.
The morning light cuts through,
not nearly as bright as him.
I never saw someone so happy
to simply greet the day.
He laugh, pointing out
Because I love you,
I know you like the back of my hand.
Because I love you,
I know you will always be honest with me.
Because I love you,
I wake up knowing that I don't have to worry anymore about whether or not I am loved by someone.
When the sun would shine its rays through my blinds, I would look away in fear of witnessing another day alive.
Warmth, growth,
Smiles, laughter,
"I love you," it's almost an oath-
to someone you're with all the time.
Love, love, love;
it feels like a budding Magnolia
in the Spring,
I no longer think that a relationship is good
I no longer see marriage as my goal
I no can no longer want love in my life
Thanks Dad.
I thought you guys had a fantastic relationship
I used to believe that lovewas in the way you made me feelon the best of days: the days my heartwas the feathered wings of a hummingbirdbeating so fast, I no longer touched the ground—the days you took me up to where the stars were so close, I cou
First steps, toddling as you go,
I will tell you no.
Laughing, playing, watching you grow,
I will tell you no.
Friends, parties, a first date with a beau,
I will tell you no.
Because I love you,
I support you from the sidelines,
strengthening your spirit and allowing you
to do the best you possibly can in everything
you do.
Because I love you,
I support you from the sidelines,
strengthening your spirit and allowing you
to do the best you possibly can in everything
you do.
Because I love you
I give you a kiss
Because you don't love me
You lash out and hit
Because I love you
I hold you tight
Because you don't love me
I'm scared to sleep at night
Because I love you...
I will do anything for you
even if that means sacrificing myself to save you
I will trust you
with passwords, and passcodes to anything you ask about
I will travel
why do I stare into your eyes?
not with lust
not with desperation
but with a new found curiosity
because i love you
why do i willingly let you scribe your name into my fragile skin?
not with pain
Because I love you, I will always worry about you and question where you are at times.
Because I love you, I will not judge you.
Because I love you, you are a very important part of my life, therefore, I will always need you.
Your smile isn't brighter than the sun,
infact, compared to the stars its a fraction.
I won't get lost in your eyes,
but please don't let this demoralize.
If your smile was brighter than the sun, it'd be unnatural,
because i love you
i will stay by your side
because i love you
i'll wipe your tears when you cry
because i love you
i will comfort you in your sorrow
because i love you
Ever wondered why I take the hit you give
Or why I have suddenly lost the will to live?
Have you ever thought of something besides yourself
or ever helped anyone when their help was due?
Before you was warm, natural and comfortable.
The beginnings of a life so old, yet new.
I could be happy, mad, bland, or blue.
With you I felt so vulnerable.
Emotions grew, good and bad,
Because I loved you, I learned the difference between healthy and unhealthy.
Because I loved you, I learned the difference between concern and control.
Because I loved you, I learned the difference between love and possession.
When you happen to find yourself
underneath the hold, of the punching vaccuum of,
deep space.
My terrified daughter, hold your breath tightly!
Plug your small freckled nose with thumb and index
Because I love you I will express my feelings using words
Instead of keeping you in the dark
Because I love you I will keep an open mind to your thoughts and opinions
I close my eyes and try to breathe
Sometimes it's very very hard to breathe
Sometimes it's impossible to breathe
I once sent a text to one of my friends
That I shouldn't have sent
I asked him
thats loveA deep inhale with the slightest touch giving an exhilarating rushthat melodious laugh that smoothes the soul.
Growing up, I never saw a healthy relationship.
I didn’t see my dad kiss my mom on the cheek,
And I didn’t see my mom get roses.
I didn’t see my parents in the same bed,
She realized that it could not work
When he hit her
And it hurt
And when tears ran astray
On a young, weary face
There was something deep inside
That had dried beneath a fiery gaze
Then she came home.
She came home, she saw the bruises on my arms.
She came home and cayght every flinch, every inflection of my voice.
Every time I apologized, she caught it.
Never a secret.
But not because it was a rule, rather because they wouldn’t want it any other way
Never a cloudy day.
Dear Love, I have only one request for you
And that is,
When we're togehter,
You let me be myself.
When we're together,
You don't "jokingly" call others faggot.
Love is beautiful like the ocean
It captivates you in its waves
Of passion and beauty
It should not captivate you
In fear or pain
I choose to love you
I choose to hold on to our memories
I choose to hurt
I choose to be broken
Not because I am a sadist
How can it be love
When the girl you say
You love
Is afraid to speak her mind?
How can it be love
When you say you love me
The boy was rich, the boy was wealthy,
But their relationship, not so healthy.
When they got together in the tenth grade,
“Make him stay” she prayed and prayed.
He loves me he does, he always will,
I was always a mixture of too much and not enough.
A galaxy dotted with stars and brillance,
but with dark spaces in between.
An ocean teeming with life,
The feeling of love cannot simply be seen by those with common eyes, it has to be seen from within by somebody else ,you see the paradise in someone else's eyes and the future that they have burning in their mind.
"I love you"
Three powerful, simple words.
These words provide care, trust, warmth, and love.
I guess all those slaps, pushes, punches, shoves were all part of affection.
I guess it was your symbole of "love"
Because I love you, this is about to be the most difficult poem
I’ve ever had to write
Finding the right words to express our relationship
Pick the right songs to explain this modern day situationship
Because I love you,
I didn't flinch
I didn't wince
I didn't complain
Because I love you,
I blamed myself
I blamed accidents
I blamed mishaps
Because I love you,
It was March.
As always, I got home late. But this time,
this time,
my head was sore, hair pulled
prodded
yanked, as a handle
for my apparently convenient mouth.
I reeked of Kingsport.
I am never alone
For when I am by myself
My thoughts are with you
I am never afraid
Because when I have fear
I know you will comfort me
Because I loved you,
I worried that my tears on your shoulder
would make you too cold.
Because I loved you,
I worried that my burdens would fall
and block your path.
His hands were blades
He had no problems pressing them into me
I knew it would hurt but I stayed
No one has ever touched me so deep
explaining that scars he left
Were romantic
His hands were blades
He had no problems pressing them into me
I knew it would hurt but I stayed
No one has ever touched me so deep
explaining that scars he left
Were romantic
Because I love the sparkle in your eye
When wonder fills your heart and makes you smile
I let you talk and laugh and even cry
and revel in your passion all the while
Because I love to know that you trust me
You kept me on a lease like a dog.
I would come to your whistle as your body lay slouched into our couch.
No, MY couch. The couch I had bought at the flea market that Saturday.
True love.
An idea warped by society,
Only known to a select few
Who have found themselves
Lucky enough to be in a
Healthy relationship.
Trapped in an idea
He is not an a verb
But an adjective in my life
A soul rememberence of who I am
A constant thought in my mind that brings me up like lettered blocks in a childhood memory
"Because I love you":
Dark brown with flecks of goldInside your eyes I feel your holdI'm independent, smart, and strongUntil other people have gone homeYou see the worst and the bestBut others see all the rest
I stand alone here in this empty room,
watching people pass by the windows and watching them live.
Each one of them i watch yet only one stands out to me,
Because I love you I will be patient, I will be kind
I will look not with the eyes but with the mind
When Shakespeare speaks I will not hold it against you
That you do not love him with the velocity that I do
Because I love you,
I hit you,
Only to put you in your place.
Because I love you,
I want you to text me every day,
I don't want you to text anyone else.
Because I love you,
a waltz through the house
toes sliding along the kitchen floor
giggles drift into the living room
harmony in a routine
a smile, a sniffle, a silence
comfort in merely existing
Thanks for letting yourself back into my life.
The beats of the music you sent me
swing in my mind like a pendulum
they envelop my mind,
I will support you,
I will talk to you,
I will be here for you,
I will make time for you,
I will talk with an open mind,
I will listen with an open heart,
I will not hurt you,
yesterday you were out sick
you missed the history lecture
so i copied another set of notes for you
I love you, you said, only it came out as “thanks”
"Because I love you..." he always said,
Once I asked him why I should stay.
"Because I love you" was an excuse, trapping me in a living hell,
Making me stay, throughout all of the abuse.
Because I love you,
I ignore you.
Because I love you,
I control you.
Because I love you,
I expect things from you.
Because I love you,
I keep you in line.
This is love?
the love is not seen by the eye
the love is not heard by the vibrations slamming into your ear
it is not felt by the mere tips of your fingers
but rather, your soul.
For my entire life
I never had a close friend
And a life of outlandish interests
Outcast me from the mainstream
And left me in a bubble.
You leave the house
And I do not worry
Where you’re going.
Trust.
I’m not comfortable with
Your hand trailing my thigh.
You stop.
Respect.
I can’t speak
The day I met you, was the day I knew
The day that I met you, I was in love.
The day that I met you, you were so new
I thought you were sent to me from above.
The words I love you, mean so much to me
Stars don’t twinkle as bright as they did when I longed for their warmth
Mountain peaks are tangible; Thoughts of you can calm the storm
Ocean depths aren’t deep at all in comparison to our talks
Stars don’t twinkle as bright as they did when I longed for their warmth
Mountain peaks are tangible; Thoughts of you can calm the storm
Ocean depths aren’t deep at all in comparison to our talks
Because I love you, you leave me in awe,
You are in my thoughts all day, every day
I willingly endure your every flaw
And prove my love to you in every way.
I kiss the ground you walk on; every step,
Because I love you, I'm not going to let you go out Friday night; it's for your own safety.
Because I love you, I'm going to go through your phone; to make sure nobody is trying to steal you from me.
I hate you,
but
It's because I love you
Wake him up with a “hey sweetie”, “Hello darling”
Breakfast in bed for him today followed by
goodmorning kissesgoodbye hugsa happiness that can’t be matchedby any of the drugs
your smile when you laughyour “laugh-till-you-cry”there’s nothing you dothat doesn’t make me smile
I grew up in a house filled with I love you's,
Eyes and cheeks painted black and blue,
They got I love you the most,
My mom was as white as a ghost,
When my dad would say.. because I love you,
My supposed friend, you didn't invite me to your birthday party
My supposed friend, you yearn for me only for homework or quiz answers
My supposed friend, you are the bane of my insecurity
my hands like to shake but they still near you,
stop all motion, become steady, confident,
touch your skin and lips and skin
The Seas
And the Skies
The color
In his eyes
Your hue makes me warm
You’re a thunderstorm
He holds the moon dear
Because I love you,
You should never fear what life has in store for you.
You shouldn’t fear failure,
Because in my eyes you’ll always be number one.
Ever wondered why I take the hit you give
Or why I have suddenly lost the will to live?
Have you ever thought of something besides yourself
or ever helped anyone when their help was due?
(What Abby thought was "love")
(What I know is not "love")
ABBY: I love you
JOE: I love you too
Because I love you
I find it hard to breathe
The walls crash down on me
Filling my lungs with screams
Screams that suffocate
A healthy love is unique
Today's definition of love is based on emotion and feeling
But love is a choice
Love isn't sex
Love isn't lust
Love is a choice
Because you love me.
Despite
Color, Class, Parents
You see past it all
You see me
I see you
For who we are
And what we have
Because I Love You
You always liked watching fires
You told me; the colors made everything brighter
That when the sparks crackled you got goosebumps
Chills would rush through your body
There is a piece of you that lives inside me.
I know it is there because I can feel it
Along the ridges of my spine
Because I love you,
I will call you Dear,
I will let you yell too,
I will ignore my fears.
Because I love you,
I will hold in these tears,
I will smile for you,
I will call for help.
Because I Love You
I miss you every day because I love you
I keep your pictures beside me, and do not allow desperation to misguide me.
Because I Love You
I miss you every day because I love you
I keep your pictures beside me, and do not allow desperation to misguide me.
Because I love you, I'll see it through
It will always be true
Because I love you, I wanna make you laugh
and then I know it'll last
Because I love you, I don't want to fight
We have all said it.
Three words who are always together.
Always hugged close together, like an invisible rope is around their waists.
Three words who can make or break us.
Because I love you
I still get lost when I look into your eyes.
The simple thought of you turns my frown into a smile.
Every hug makes me feel warm inside
Because I love you,
My words flow freely from my lips
Spilling my secrets and sharing my hopes
With you, love.
Because I love you,
for Sofia
Last night you came over
Slept over
On a school night
The next morning
We walked in hand in hand
And I got looks from my friends
If you are a seedlet my love be your water,andyour sun.I know that you are destinedto rise,and I am devotedto your growthbecause,I love you. And I'd wishfor you,to bloom,into a flower.
for all the times that we laughed
I love you
for everytime you held me
I love you
for when you cried with me
I love you
for the gifts you give me
I love you
for the ways you save me
I entered the world helpless and vulnerable
You held me in your arms, assuring me that everything was going to be ok
You taught me what it meant to be loved from the very moment I was born
A kiss, a breath, a touch felt only by the wind
I cannot see the trees; The leaves are thick
And the sap that makes the core sickly jealous
"This is what love is. Can't you see my dear?"
Because I love you.
The moment you were introduced to this world, your mother held you in her arms.
She wraps you in a warm blanket and puts a big smile on her face.
Because I love you,
We should agree on what matters,
And not care about our ideas,
On kings and mad hatters.
Because I love you,
We should speak with grace,
And not yell at each other,
I once saw a star
In the midnight air
shining straight towards me
Though it was lovely,
it was manipulative
Though it was manipulative,
I kept wishing
Wishing to the star,
I'll leave you the love I held
for you
under
our empty bed,
next to the rear-view mirror that once
held a picture of our smiles.
I'll leave you the lingering feeling
you once gave me
Bed of thorns, vacant flowerbeds,
Flowers plucked and torn, your loyalties shed.
Flower crown of spikes, flower crown of thorns,
Wicked wicker-weaved words swarm.
I'm selling secrets a dozen a bundle
I will stand by you, even on your darkest days
I will take care of you, even when there is nothing left
I will always support you, even when the outcomes seem dim
In a relationship, you can lose yourself.
Society says:
You “complete” each other.
You’re “inseparable”.
Two halves of a whole.
Because I love you,
I see things through a new filter.
Colors are brighter, the air seems sweeter,
and every touch feels like satin against my skin.
Because I love you,
Love feels tangible.
When you say you love me
I know it's very true
Because in your eyes I can clearly see
Your thoughts consist of you and me
I love you when you're happy
I love you when you're sad
If you really loved me you don't need to say those words
I don't need to do things "Because I love you".
You don't need my passwords,
you don't need my body,
because you love me...
You need my mind,
Because I love you I waited for you to text back,
Because I love you I felt like I always had to keep you on track,
Because I love you I did anything to make you overjoyed,
Why do I love you?
I haven't it much thought until you asked...
Maybe it's the way you ignite my soul when you laugh.
Maybe it's because we relate to so much shit.
Maybe it's because your love never quits.
Because I love you, little sister
You dance under a sky full of gray and rain
You sing silly songs in the shower
You tell me about your day
It's the way your hair falls in your face
Because you refuse to get it cut
And the glimmer in your eyes
Every morning when we wake up
It's the little things that make you perfect
The world is so much rosier because I love you,
the sky is full of gorgeous colors and I don’t feel so lost
Because I love you the world is in slow motion again.
Because I Love You...
I will trust you.
I will support you even when I don't understand.
I will be there for you unconditionally.
I will realize you have a life beyond just me.
I catch a glimpse of your dimples when you laugh,
Thinking to myself,
Why are you still here?
I watch as you water the garden we planted together,
Thinking to myself,
Why are you still here?
"....Because I love you.."
Or do you really?
You say that, do you really mean it?
I can not tell you how many times I've heard that.
People say all the time and you can't tell if they mean it.
Because I love you…
I take a chance.
Open my heart.
I learn to dance.
Because I love you…
I bare my soul.
You learn the truths
I’ve never told.
Because I love you…
Because I love you I will spread the truth,
let everyone know that you are the amazing You.
I’ll never put you down or a tell a lie,
but if someone did, I would not comply.
Because I love you, it's okay that I make you choose me over your friends
Because I love you, it's okay that I tell you what you can't wear
Because I love you, it's okay that I make fun of you
Because I love you
I will let you go
I know you only treat me this way
because you need time to grow
I love you,
we're told,
is the most wonderful-
desired emotion.
Some search
their entire life.
Some
have never been without.
Some hope the truth
lies
The ground beneath my feet is firm,yet I can spread and curl my toesin the forgiving soil of his support.
“Because I love you.”I mutter.
I’m not hungry.
The thought of food disgusts me.
I eat anyway.
“Because I love you.”
I whimper.
I’m curled in bed early.
You bring out the Romantic in me.
The unbearable-but-somehow-funny pun-maker in me.
The patient, pink and white rose-giver in me.
You bring out the Adventurer in me.
Because I love you, I openly put your happiness before mine.Because I love you, I take down my walls that others have caused me to put up. Because I love you, I give you all my free time.
Past relationships came with some complexity/
But helped bring out the best in me/
Helped me realize Love was more than sex to me/
I wanted you next to me/
But every word you said to me/
Six, Three, Ten, Some
When we were young, you called my phone.
I’d sit outside and play with the grass,
Watching cars go by,
Breaths counting minutes,
Because I love youIt is a phase often used
Because I love youIt can be used like a knife Or like a soft winter blanket
because I love you
I go crazy everyday
Think of you in everyway
Hopping your safe
Because I go crazy in everyway
When you aren't on my way
I know I'm not the best at expressing my emotions
I know I can come off as a drama queen
I know, I'm not like other girls
I know I could be a little more sympathetic
I know I try hard not to try too hard
Because I love you
I feel as though we are one
our souls lightly touching together
although we are apart.
Because I love you
I can feel your gentleness
and care with my heart.
Because I love you
Ever since New York
I tried to change my mind
pushed away these little things
and these little white lies.
I was only 18 surrounded by fool's gold.
I had no control as these fire proof clouds
Because I love me
I fight for the love I deserve
Because I love you
I tell you but not with words
Because you love me
You force me to see who I am and who I can be
“Because I love you.”
Multiple definitions
For words so loving.
“Because I love you.”
Manipulative gestures
I LOVE YOU
I love you now
I'll love you then.
From the start
And till the end.
Your more to me
Then my girlfriend.
I love the rainbow
In your hair.
Your sympathy shows
he was something wild,
something disreputable,
a part of the night
and the dust,
some sort of reckless fate:
beautiful
Damn you!
How can I say anything if everytime I open my mouth you disappear again
I was all set up to do away with every misgiving, every unsung apology that ever iched on my lips
when you went up in a puff of smoke
Go. Just go.
I don't want you to, but you will eventually.
I won't tell you that I can't stand the fact that you talk to all these girls you don't know.
I won't tell you that I should know better than to trust you.
I DON’T THINK IT WAS EASY FOR YOU
TO BOUND TOGETHER THE HIDDEN CRACKS
DEEP WITHIN MY SKIN
I WAS A BAD CASE OF SOLITUDE
AND BROKEN BONES
I Will Fight
For You
Do For You
Even
Care For You
Be There For You
Shop For You
Go Out And
Get Something
To Eat For You
Talk To You
Watch A Movie
With You
