Because I Love You.

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 am not to receive someone’s affection. 

Because I love you, I don’t feel empty inside. I’m no longer a withering, black rose 

looking for any ounce of water, love, I now am a bright, red rose. Full of life, Full of love.

Because I love you, my flower grows, I grow. Emotionally, Physically, Mentally, all in me. 

I grow and grow from the light your love offers me. 

I’m a bright, young, growing flower. I am free. Thanks to you, 

this is all because you love me.
