some days she would ask me

Some days she would ask me

“Why did you stay?”

And I would  answer her

“Because I love you.”

But then I thought to myself

Hey, God can answer it better

So I asked God one night

“God, why do you let me stay?”

Then God answered:

“Listen, kid—

She needs you more than you know it.

“She loves photography:

                She’s gonna stop in a sudden

                Taken by some scenery along the way

                And though you know nothing about cameras

                Of course, she’s gonna need you to carry her bag.

                She can’t wave a camera with a bridge on her shoulder.

                Also, she might gonna need someone to throw the petals on her model.

“She loves eating:

                She’s gonna have a list of all this restaurants

                From streetfoods to fine dining ones

                But then she’s gonna deny herself the meal

                She’s gonna say no to eating most of the time

                She’s gonna say she has gained too much weight

                She’s gonna tell herself she’s fine without anything in her stomach

                And you’re going to be there to change her mind every time

                You’re going to tell her she’s the sexiest woman in the world

                You’re going to tell her you left Jennifer Lawrence for her             

                Also, she likes that part of the shawarma that you can never finish.

“She loves to roam around F21:

                She’s gonna dance around the displays of blouses and jeans

                Of course, that’s about all the names of the clothing you know

                She’s gonna throw in some clothing names that you’ve never heard before

                She’s gonna try on everything, try on the hats, fathom on the prices

                And you’re gonna be there all saying, “You’d look very beautiful in that.”

                Because you know she’d always be beautiful in everything

                You’re the Craig Ferguson who’s gonna tell her everyday in every clothing she wears

                “Why, you look sensational!”

“She’ll put the world in a backpack:

                She knows nothing about the Earth but to be roamed

                She’s gonna show you pictures of beaches and wonderful tourist spots

                She’s gonna tell you every day that she wants nothing more than to travel

                She will be your ticket to the world, kid.

                She will be the needle that will prick you out of your introvert bubble

                And you’re gonna be where she wants to be

                She will need you because you are part of her world.

“You stayed because she loves the life that contains a ‘you’

You stayed because she needs you in everything she loves

You stayed because you love her through the odds

And most of all, you stayed because you make her happy.

So happy.”
