Because


It’s not because you buy me things or take me out to eat
It’s not because you dance with me or wait as I take my seat
It’s not because you listen when I talk and smile when I am sad
It’s not because you make me laugh no matter the bad day I have had
It’s not because you hold my hand or pull me close to you
It’s not because you are good at stealing kisses like you do
It’s not because you sing randomly and never seem to be off key
It’s not because you act a fool and are crazy as can be

It’s not because you treat your friends with respect no matter what
It’s not because you are tired as hell and make a point to just show up
It’s not because my head fits just right on your shoulder as you hug me
It’s not because your heart is full of truth and honesty
It’s not because you work hard and aim to be the best
It’s not because no matter what you just don’t blend in with the rest
It’s because you stop to think what is it that I can do
It’s because you think of me and that’s all I ask of you
