Just because

"Why do you love me?", I asked her. 

"Just because", she answered. 

"That cannot be, you must love me for a reason", I said. 

"Sometimes love needs no reason", she answered smiling.

"But how?", I pressed on. Not believing that someone can love

Without reason. 

"I just do", she shrugged. 

"But-", I tried to say something but she interrupted me. 

"I loved you from the first time I laid my eyes on you,

From the moment that you opened your mouth, 

And you cried so loudly, it made my ears hurt. 

I loved you even before then.

I loved you from the moment you knew how to stand, 

And to walk, 

And to run, 

Until that moment, that you moved away. 

I kept on loving you. 

I loved you when you had your first fist-fight, 

When you punched the lights out of that boy, 
And I was called to the principal's office, 

I loved you still.

I loved you the first time you had your heart broken, 

And you drowned yourself in alcohol, 

And you kept shouting, that nobody loved you, 

I loved you even more.  

I loved you when I found you covered in blood, 

As you tried to take away your life, 

Just because things weren't going your way, 

My love never went away. 

I loved you, when you left me and got married, 

I was all alone, in our tiny house that was too big for me, 

And you never once visited or called, 

But I loved you just the same. 

I loved you, as you come here to my hospital bed, 

Asking me questions, 

And prodding me my reasons why I love you. 

And still, I love you just because"

"You see son, sometimes love doesn't need a reason, 

And sometimes you love someone simply just because", she said.
