Love Poem: Why, You Ask?

Why, You Ask?

Because when I asked
If I'm worth it,
You said,
"How dare you!
Of course you are!"
Because you set
Yourself aside-
That's how much you care.
Because you chose me 
Among millions
To put faith in. 
Because after all
That I've done,
I'm still the one you believe in.
Because you would 
Give all, even your life
So that I'm safe and happy.
Because you remind me
To do my best 
And to keep my head up.
Because you never
Grow tired of
Hearing me talk.
Because you turn 
My tears 
To a mere bump
In the road.
Because you have
Never broken my trust,
And when I was in doubt,
You told me the truth.
Because you're not
Perfect, and you've made
Me angry at times.
Because you have
Made me cry,
Scream,
Laugh,
Forgive,
Smile,
Forget, 
Come clean.
Why am I here, you ask?
Because you are
My best friend,
But,
Most of all, 
Because I don't even need a
Reason to love you.
