Because I Love You

Saying I love you is not me telling you how I feel,
Saying I love you is me making you a promise,
A promise to keep you safe,
A promise to make sure you eat,
A promise to help you smile.
Saying I love you isn’t something to brush off,
Saying I love you is me giving you a piece of me,
A piece of my heart,
A piece of my life,
A piece of my being.
Saying I love you is not saying I want you happy,
Saying I love you is saying I’ll be there even when you’re not,
When you’re sad I’ll be there,
When you’re angry I’ll be there,
When you need me I’ll be there,
Because I love you.
