Analysis of I Love You



I love you not so much because of what
you say or do, but more because I want
to bring real happiness to you.
Because I know you are so sweet that
you deserve the best. And only when
your dreams come true, do I fullfill
my quest. When you say you care...your
words become the echo of the answer
to my prayer. And all the world may
melt away beyond a mist of blue, but
there will never be an end...to my
great love for you.
