I met a boy
And I fell in-love too quick
I loved him more than sunsets
More than when the leaves change colors
More than photographs and sappy lyrics
Cuddling on the couch
Or chocolate covered almonds
Oversized sweaters when I'm feeling lazy
And waiting for those three words of comfort

I came to love everything
He was and everything
I had made him into

My heart swelled as months passed
As I was so full of love
For him and for hope
I forgot to do the thing
That so many forget to do

I forgot to leave room to love myself
