Why I loved You

I loved you because when those words were muttered from my mouth to your ears, you were so quick to reply.

I loved you because you held me through the night and didn't seem to want to let me go.

I loved you because I could call you after seemingly the worst day, and you could make it all better.

I loved you because you brought out the adventurous side of me.

I loved you because you would play me songs that you found fitting for the moment.

I loved you because you could make me smile through the tears.

I loved you because you always held my hand in public.

             You always told me that I looked beautiful, no matter what I thought.

             You kissed my forehead in the rain.

             And you opened doors for me.

             You made me little trinkets.

             And were so happy when I tried to draw with you.

Even when you let me go, I still loved you.

Even when you told me you hoped that we could still be friends, I still loved you.

Even through that empty promise, I still loved you.

I just can't help remembering the good instead of the bad, and I still love you.
