Because I love you,

I will be at your every game,
Even if you are benched,
Proudly wearing your name,
Even if I'm drenched,
There is no force that could stop me from being there for you.

Because I love you,
I'll do a store run,
And make you chicken noodle soup,
Hoping tomorrow you'll shine as bright as the sun,
The food may seem like an endless loop,
But I promise you, it's working its magic and you have no clue.

Because I love you,
I'll stay up late,
Under the stars,
Listening to your voice as you talk about our fate,
Hoping we're not as far as us to Mars,
Silence falls, and to you I say adieu.

Because I love you,

I’ll release you from my hold,

And watch you walk towards success,

You’ve become so bold,

And I cannot stress,

How important it is to be careful about what you get yourself into.

Because I love you,

You will not run me over,

And life will not be all rainbows and sunshine,

Our two head strong souls are never pushovers,

The stubbornness never resigns,

And together, we will make it past twenty-two.

Because I love you,

I’ll give you the freedom you need,

And push you to your best,

I’ll make sure you succeed,

And I’ll have to disagree with your mindset,

I know not to smother you in love, but it’s hard from my point of view.
