Because I love you

Oh, how I was once guileless! 

This was the time I asked my girl

If she can possibly love me any less.

To which she said That's impossible

"Because I love you."

 

Oh, I miss the time we spent. 

Cuddling under the summer heat,

Comforting the other when we wept.

We're ugly criers; but we endured it

"Because I love you."

 

Oh how time had flew!

All throughout highschool

The time we had was soon due.

We grew older, but we still said

"Because I love you."

 

She was even the girl I asked to Prom.

Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday!

Everyone asking where she was from.

I hated dancing. But I made an exception that night

"Because I love you."

 

College soon had made its approach

She comforted me, saying we'd stay together.

I let her go, my heart feeling like a roche

Only having done this for the reason being

"Because I love you."

 

She was soon so busy, that she had no time

for me. Many nights were being spent

worrying for her. Relationship felt like rime

but I didn't bother her; murmuring only

"Because I love you."

 

Then one day, she messaged me saying

She had found someone. I was at disbelief.

She had spent all those long nights, betraying

me, comforting herself by saying she broke it off

"Because I love you."

 

Now I say to you dear reader

be quick to love, but slow to trust.

Try to take charge and become the leader

Never do what you don't like for that

"Because I love you."

 

Now, to get a good relationship

is a tricky one. It should be one

forged through years of friendship.

That's my advice. Now, I only do this

Because I love you.

I posted this a couple minutes ago, only to delete it to a couple of grammar mistakes. I feel this is slightly better but don't be surprised if I seem like an amateur because my only poem experience comes from elementary school. Nevertheless, thanks for taking your time and reading this.
