Only Because You Loved Me

Only Because You Loved Me

A Poem by Victoria Scott
"

This is a poem about a man and his wife has Alzheimers and yet he still loves her. This is written from the wife's perspective.

"
If you had really loved me....
Alluded to my despondency.
A day by day drill without recovery.
With my head over the pier,
As the water surged near.
Only because you loved me.

I can't complain about the days
When what I said was a riddle and
My heart was a maze,
And yet you'd turn down the noise
And the sounds.
Only because you loved me.

You took my hand on that moonlit walk
Although I didn't understand
You began to talk, about those days long ago.
About a man and a women lost in the flow of love.
You recounted every moment,
Even what life's trial brought
And with tears in your eyes you fought,
You said once more to me, 
"If I had started over, I wouldn't change a thing, 
And no matter what this life may bring,
Only because I love you."
