Because I love you, I see love everywhere.
We wont have to talk.
We can feel them wrapped around us both.

Because I love you, I will tell you how I feel.
I wont make you guess.
I wont pretend that the feelings arent there.
I wont shove feelings down inside my heart, I wont sweep them aside, or lock them away.
I hope youll tell me, too.
Because I love you, I will not lie to you.
Even when I know youre not going to like the answer to the question that you asked.
And love is rooted in honesty it has to be, or else it unravels.
It has to be, or else words get lost.
It has to be, otherwise, too many things go unsaid.
And I will tell you everything.
Because I love you, I laugh more than I ever have.
I think you laugh more, too.
I realize now that love and laughter are twin sisters, forever linked.
One should happen with the other.
Because I love you, I fight with you sometimes.
Its not out of malice.
Its not because Im looking for a fight.
Its not because I want to hurt your feelings.
Its because were two people, and sometimes, we miscommunicate.
Sometimes, we have a bad day and we get snippy.
Sometimes, we lash out.
But its ok because its not rooted in harm.
Because I love you, I know what home means.
Its within me, and its also within you, and its within the little family weve built together.
Our love is all of that.
Love is all of that, too.
Because I love you, I give love to everyone.
I love you, because.
