Я так понимаю, что это из стихотворения Дениса Давыдова. Героиня читает стих по памяти. Я не знаю, был ли Денис Давыдов переведен на английский, в сети переводов найти не удалось. Как вы полагаете - нужно перевести хоть как-нибудь, и сделать footnote, что это из стихотворения Давыдова?
I love you just because you're you - это очень "попсово", нет?

I love you simply for what you are
You're right about it being попсово, there was a pop song about fifty years ago called something like "I Love You, Darling, Just Because You're You". Tried to find it on Google but couldn't.

I love you for being yourself!
A short love poem:
I love you for your order
Where I am chaos.
I love you for your no
Where I would like to say yes.
I love you for being yourself
Because I am different.
I love you for your order
Where I am chaos.
I love you for your no
Where I would like to say yes.
I love you for being yourself
Because I am different.
