Grandpa said to Grandma

Because I love you,

I will hit you in the face

I am sorry love

It’s the only way you’ll learn

Not to make mistakes.

 

Because I love you,

I want you to spend all your days with me

NO

Don’t go see your family

All you need

Is to spend time with ONLY me.

 

Because I love you,

Don’t leave home out of my sight

If you do

I will take my own life.

I do this,

 

Because I love you.

 

Then I said to him,

This is the love Grandma received

I’m so afraid

Will love be this way with me?

Is love a lie? Is it so cruel?

Does it seem so beautiful?

Then turn so dull?

 

He says to me

Silly Girl

Don’t you see?

That’s not what love really means

That’s no way to treat someone

Better yet someone you love

Come with me

You will see

What love really means.

 

When you love someone

All you ever want for that person is happiness

You love when they smile,

You love when they laugh,

Especially when you’re the reason.

 

You want to hear about their day,

You want to hear what’s on their mind,

When you talk to them

You listen to every word they say

You care because you love them.

 

 

When you love someone

You should always show respect

Don't express contempt

The golden rule is true

to the person you love too.

 

Now of course,

When you love someone you see,

Making mistakes

It’s a part of being human beings.

That’s what forgiveness is for

You don’t hold a grudge

Make it work,

Talk it out,

And forget what it was all about.

 

When that person is feeling down

You will do anything

To turn that frown upside down.

When they’re feeling sick

You easily become their Doctor Fix.

You hate to see them in pain

You don’t want to ever hurt them,

In any fashion or way.

 

Because you love that person you do all these things

Your ACTIONS speak louder than "because I love you"

You show,

RESPECT like you would to your mother

FORGIVENESS like no other

COMPASSION because you truly care

PATIENCE over and over again

KINDNESS to see that smile

LOYALTY so your love doesn't just last for a little while

TRUST with no fear

How do I know this my dear friend?

How do I know that this is what love really means?

It’s because I love you,

And darling there’s so much more

 

You’re the one and only girl I see

You really do complete me

I can be myself with you

I can even goof around

You bring out the best in me

Always remember you've got a friend in me.

 

I understand you're afraid to love

But can't you see?

Love is a beautiful thing

It can bring

A happiness that is endless.

 

Please don't be afraid

We will look

To the Creator of love,

And I know for certain,

With our love and his guidance

Our true love will never fail.

 

If you need a reminder

Just look up at the stars

You don't even have to look so far

For every one you see

You’ll find a reason

Why I love you Missy

And just remember my friend

Even if you never become mine

I will love you until the end of time.
