I Love Because I Love
I love you because…
The love in your being
Stirs that of my heart.
Your fiat to me
Lets me know how to love.
The mind in your body is one in good shape,
I don’t have to worry about you
There is no need for escape.
I’m so glad that I met you
Even your vices have virtues
Your blessedness always in view.
You were beautifully made
In the image of him who is eternal Beauty
Your soul’s light never to fade.
Because I love you…
When I talk to my friends
They hear about you
But us guys have a blast
Our friendships are tried and true.
I acknowledge your friends’ silliness
As all girls can be,
You guys eat and watch movies and dance
Your spirits quite free.
Your health is my goal
And your joy my desire
I will protect myself
So that I can protect you from ire.
My life will be preserved
Following the true, beautiful, and good
For if you are to be happy
I must attain my own sainthood.
I love you because…
Because I love you.
