Because I love you.

I can't forget the sound of your voice
Or your smiles whenever you danced
It's too late to walk away from you now
And think of another romance.


All things and places together we saw
In the mind I relive when apart.
All the gentle caring and love we did share
Stays on and lives in my heart.


How could I ever go back where I was
After the time spent with you.
I could never just stop the love that I have
Where would I put it, If I do.


You said " off with the old love, and on with the new "
It's easy to say, but not easy to do.
Why should I care now, that you want to forget?
what we had for a time, it was new.


Because I love you
I tried so hard but can't forget
Because I need you. 
You linger in my memory yet
Because I miss you.


I oft times wish we had never met
Although you left a tear, as a souvenier
It doesn't matter dear
Because I love you.
