"I Love You
Because"
I don't
love you because you
think I'm beautiful-
I love you because you
think I'm beautiful
when I'm at my worst.
I don't love you because
you listen to me-
I love you because you
listen when nothing
I say makes sense. I
don't love you because
you make me laugh-
I love you because you
make me laugh
when I feel like crying.
I don't love you because
you hold me tight-
I love you because you
hold me when
I need it most.
I
don't love you because of
the gifts you buy-
I love you for
remembering my birthday,
a holiday, an
anniversary.
I don't love you because
you're
always there to help-
I love you because you
want to.
I
don't love you just
because you love me-
I love you because you're
you.
