Reasons

You ran a red light.  On purpose.
We hit a cat.  On accident.

She lost.  Because the judge.

They fixed it.  Because they tried.

He died.  For love.

We talked for hours.  For fun.

I didn't sleep.  Too much anxiety.

You left.  Too much to do.

She spoke.  With a purpose.

We were worried.  With a reason.

I was lost.  Without direction.

You gave comfort.  Without a word.

He failed.  By lack of effort.

I fell in love.  By mistake.
