Because I loved you, I didn’t give up on my feelings after you told me we wouldn’t work.

Because I loved you, I would scowl at every girl you would mention in our chats

Because I loved you, I would text you at 3 am asking what made them so much better than me

Because I loved you, you finally loved me back.

 

Because you loved me, the word “no” wasn’t an option

Because you loved me, you would get jealous of all of my friends

Because you loved me, I stopped listening to the warnings

Because you loved me, I cut shut everyone out, but you.

 

Because I loved you, I would tell you ever fear I had of you being unfaithful

Because you loved me, you would tell me I needed to get over it

Because you loved me, you cried when you found out I was hurting myself again

Because I loved you, I would tell you when I did, just to see how you’d react.

 

Because I loved you, I started that argument, April 9th

Because I loved you, I asked you to stop messing around

I still wonder if you loved me

When you told me you’d do what you want.

 

Because I loved you, I left.

Because I loved you, I swore it was my fault

Because I loved you, I cried every night

Because I loved you, I died April 9th.

 

I loved you for two years with something stronger than love

I’d even consider it obsession

I made myself a slave to my emotions

To you, because I loved you.

 

Because of her, I moved on

Because of her, I don’t hurt

Because of her, I wake up smiling and go to bed loved

Because of her, I stopped crying every night.

 

Because I love her, I tell her good morning and promise to talk after class

Because I love her, she tells me about her friends and I don’t get jealous

Because I love her, I kiss her and tell her I’m lucky she’s mine

Because I love her, I stopped loving you.

 

She brought me back to life.
