Loving You

Loving you is not a choice;
it's who I am.
Loving you is not a choice,
and not much reason to rejoice.
But it gives me purpose, gives me voice
to say to the world:
this is why I live.
You are why I live.

Loving you is why I do the things I do.
Loving you is not in my control.
But loving you, I have a goal
for what's left of my life.
I will live, and I would die for you.
