Because I Love You

I do believe that you are the one for me!
Your longing is mine.
Do you remember when we had first seen eachother?
You held me in your arms and said you would never let me go.
That was more than the truth.
Though,the years of life has made us separate.
It took us out of place but our love remained.
Distance won't stop me.
For my heart beats in you.
I can feel its warmth growing deep in me.
People grew jealous of us and what we have.
They thought that we didn't have the right to love.
We were different,that is true.An abnormal relationship to them.
But of course we paid them no mind.They were shadows,not gods.
Do you think hatred can stop me?Hey hatred,try harder!
I'll keep on moving towards you for one special reason!
Because I love you!Who cares what other people think or say?
I'll always love you!My love grows from deep inside me.
I'll never feel their hatred because that is dead.
I know you love me,because we still share a soul.
Yes,I know you love me,you say it in all your love letters.
They keep me going from morning to evening to the night!
Do you think others will know the power of our love?
Do you think they'll ever know that it's from heaven above?
It's always the thing that gives us a lasting life.
Affection keeps us living.
And with it we are strong!
Hatred will not win.
Our smiles will triumph!
Nothing will stop us.
Because I love you!
