I Stay Because I Love

I know I'm not tedious, yet still
I accept all your neglect,
and stay by your side...
This doesn't mean
I have nowhere else to go.

Your indifference pleases me,
your cruelty I'm willing to bear,
even when I catch your mistakes, I forgive—
This doesn't mean
I have nowhere else to go.

I could leave whenever I choose.
Leaving isn't hard.
Everyone has at least one place they could go to.
Yet I don't leave... because I love you.
