I wrote this because of you

I wrote this because of you

I wrote this because of you
Because I love you
Because I want to know you
Because you’re my daughter
My sister
My mother
My forever love
My nothing and everything
Because we will meet later
Get angry and part ways
Because we will grow together
Let down our walls stop worrying and love each other
Because you’re my future
And I will need you
And I will fear you
Fight with you
Tell you I’m sorry
Ready to kill, die, and live for you
Hold you to a high standard
Demand greatness from you
Break the neck of anyone that disrespects you
Because I will take you for granted
Replace you with another
Be hurt by that one
Neglect next that comes along
And then find you in some one else
Just to lose you again
Only to never be without you
Because you will come back to me to hold me before I go
To meet you again as I transition
I wrote this because of you
Because I love you
Because I want to know you
Because you’re my daughter
My sister
My mother
My forever love
My nothing and everything
Because you’re my lady
And I will always love you

Jalili B. Jimiyu
