Tell me, why do you love me?

Because somewhere between hello and good bye,

You found the time to fall in love with me.

See I know why I love you,

And I could go on all day,

And reminisce on how the first time our eyes locked, I fell,

I already knew that my heart was yours,

And by that simple smile you gave of gratitude, of me just being in your presence,

So tell me.

How do you know you’re in love with me?

Because it could simply be that you’re in fact,

In love with the ideal of being in love with me

Don’t get me wrong,

I’m pleased that we share each other heart,

But I got to know the excitement of our passion,

Isn’t just the thrill of what we could become?

Because baby if it’s real,

You could inform me of the exact moment,

That your heart became tender,

And you became fond of my compassion.

See I know why I love you,

It became extremely apparent when I thought I lost you,

Sometimes that’s what it takes,

Cause my heart stopped and I felt like I couldn’t breath,

And my world twisted dull, and my body bent bitter,

And the butterflies that once twisted in my stomach started to stomp,

That let me know, that not only did I love you, but I needed you to carry on,

That I was in fact your curved bone,

Forming a cavity, housing your vital organs in your backbone,

Prepared for you, by God.

So tell me, why do you love me?

Because there are millions that are pleasing to the eye,

But I don’t want to be idealized for my splendor on the exterior,

It has to be something superior,

Cause see I know why I love you,

To me you’re the idealistic movement,

A tendency, emphasizing my individual existence of freedom, and choice,

You are the definition of Greek philosophy,

The branch of knowledge,

The academic study of devotion,

You are truth, existence, reality, and causality,

You’re pleasing to my every sense, the touch, the smell, and the taste of my nature,

So I beg you, tell me why you think you love me,

Because the meaning behind love has no liberty for games,

This isn’t a word that you just say randomly to make me feel better,

Because I was a me before there was an us,

Mounting out of my own captivity,

So can you, are you able?

Because I’m ready to take the next step,

That has possession over love,

The time, the energy, especially the obligation,
