Because For Mat Caliri's "i Love You Because..." Contest

Because you always make me laugh, 
no matter what's going through my mind.
Because you have a big heart,
And because you are so kind.

Because you hold me when I cry,
Smile when I stop,
Put up with my attitude,
when I don't get my pop.

Because you would die for me,
To let me see another day,
But you'd be somewhere else,
Somewhere far away.

What I'm trying to say is this:
For many reasons, you stole my heart,
Reasons I cannot write.
But thank you for playing the boyfriend part.

I liked it a lot. I've started writing poems in high school, and just recently picked it up again. I'd appreciate all input and comments. I really want to become better.
