Just Because

I need you
just because
my life seems
full when you’re
around
My days are
filled with light,
your image owns
my nights

My life is
full, more like
complete, for you
have filled my
void
My empty pain
replaced,
You’ve filled that
empty space

I think about you
just because
you flood my
thoughts with 
joy
I think about
your face,
Your eyes, your
smile, your grace

These imageries
and thoughts of you
expand throughout
my mind
My mind’s opened
its gates,
You’ve conquered
my mental state

I love you
just because
you’ve drawn the
love out from
my heart
Affection felt by
me,
Is yours for you
to see

A world of
love is not
enough for me
to give to
you
It never is
nor was,
All simply
just because
