Because I want to make sure you are safe

I ask you to text me when you get home with no harm

Because I need you to communicate with me

so when things happen there is no need to raise alarm

Because I think about the possibilites

I encourage you to always take careful measure

Because I care for your well being

I ask you to think of yourself as a priceless treasure

Because you would do all of this for me

I hold you dear to my heart

Because even when you are of great distance

I do not feel that far apart

Because you mean the world to me

I make sure you know that, too

Because of all these things

to simply let you know

I love you
