Not Because Poem by Mark Anthony Mendoza

It's not because I have to do this my sweet
Not that I'm oblige to all of these
Though I know you worry about me
But this I have to do

It's not because we are just starting new
Not because I have to prove my love
But im doing this all because...
Everytime I see you I feel joy
Everytime I hold you I feel secure
Everytime I embrace you I feel love
Everytime I say I love you I feel true

Even though how far I will
Even though it would only take a minute I will
For this is a love that is true
