Because I love you, I stay when you tell me to go

because love is a choice, and anywhere without you is a place I don't want to know.

Because I love you, I will reassure you that you're enough for me everyday

becaue without you life would be like a dormant tree in the winter, cold and lonely.

When negative thoughts slip through like putty in your hands 

I will hold you, and kiss them away, all because I love you.

Our love is like fireworks, 

but sometimes it feels like matches, lit one minute and out the next. 

Because I love you, I will be the matchbox to keep it going,

like the waves in the ocean rippling through the tides. 

Because I love you, I trust you

I want you to know that you can trust me too,

trust me to right my wrongs, 

I trust you to accept my flaws and all, as I would you.

Just know that because I love you, I want the best for you 

watering each other like plants, watching us grow together. 

Because im so in love with you, I want eternity with you, a forever.
