I didn’t choose to love you,
I just fell in love
with the way you looked at me
when we first met.

We spoke for the first time
but I had never felt
more at ease
even with the best
of my friends

There was an assurance
in your unspoken words
and I knew that
I’ll always be safe
in your arms

We talked endlessly
from dusk to dawn
and I had no inkling
on how time went by
when we were together

I loved the way
I could always be me
when you were around
and not be afraid
of being judged

I loved spending sleepless nights,
dreaming and yet
waking up fresh
with the sun

I loved the way
you always brought out
the best in me
nevermind the situations

I loved how remembering
each moment spent with you
brought a smile to my face
even in the worst times

I loved how we could
have the worst arguments
and still wake up next morning
with a sweet smile
knowing it will be okay

I loved how
having you by my side
gave me the strength
to face whatever
might come

I loved how
I didn’t choose to love you
I just fell in love
with everything you are
and everything I am with you.
