The Reasons

 

Because we both feel it, not because you want it,

but, because I want it too

Because of the time we spend together

Because we are friends

Because you?ve had my back since Day One

 

Because I want to know you

Because you want to know me

Because I want to hold you

Because I don?t want to share you      

 

Because we?re on the same level

Because you look deeper inside

Because I see what?s on your mind

Because you speak up

Because you tell me what you feel,

            and the fact that what you say is real

Because you tell me the truth when I don?t want

            to hear it

Because you are you

 

Because I make you smile

Because you do the same for me

Because you have a beautiful name

Because you are sweet

Because of your kiss

Because you could return the love that I could give to you

 

Because God sent you

Because it?s the path we?ve been lead upon

Because maybe this is what He wants for us

Because I don?t want to be left behind

 

Because of the day I met you,

            I?ve been happy ever since.

Because of your patience

Because of your beautiful face,

Because now is the time, and this is the place.
