Because I Love You

"Because i love you."

It's a short, four word phrase. 

It also happens to be the words quickly inked on the tag to a package that mysteriously appeared. 

but, you know that the "you" is you. 

 

It's from the way the "i" is dotted and the "y" is curved, that you can tell it's from them: 

the owner of the shoulder that's caught all of your tears. 

the giver of a random wildflower they saw, simply because it reminded them of you. 

the one person you can always turn to no matter what you have on your heart.  

the one you love.

the one you call yours. 

 

To merely hold the gift in your arms just enforces the message on it:

"Because i love you."

 

Love isn't something you can demand, or earn, or buy, or create. no matter how hard you try. 

Love is a gift; it is powerful, and undescribable of how it comes to grow and flourish. 

And this gift was given, to you, "Because i love you."
