Because of Your Love

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

I wish you didn't love me.

 

Then it wouldn't make me 

hate myself so much

for hurting you.

 

I find myself

always apologizing 

for who I am.

 

I have to find excuses

for my behavior

because nothing about you

warrants my treatment.

 

But your love is

changing me,

making me better everyday.

 

It's just a slow process

with setbacks at times.

 

I know I won't become 

a new person overnight.

 

I'm so thankful that 

you love me.

 

Because without your love,

I would be unlovable.
