just because you come to me, in a
moment in an instant when i call upon you
just because you understand my fears
and my wrong emotions, and you forgive
just because you dare to believe in me
when all of my actions are so vain
just because you care for me when i
don't even care about myself
just because you hold me up when i fall
over and over
just because you want for me, things i
don't even dream about
just because you saw me and knew me
even before my time
for all these reasons and more i love
you and you love me just because
Beautifully written; I like the last line, I love you and you love me, just because. And the line that God cares for us even when we don't care about ourselves. Very nicely done!

Delete"Just" is one of my favorite words and something I have to delete time and time again from my manuscripts. I love that poetry allows you to get away with anything, even an abundant use of the word 'just'--lovely work.
