i loved you not because of your scent or because of the crinkle in your eyes i did not love you because of the melody in your laughter or the brightness of your smile no. i did not love you because you gave me flowers or because you sang me a song. and i certainly did not love you because of the warmth of your embrace or the softness of your hand in mine. i did not love you because you stayed up hours to talk to me. no. i loved you because you saw what no one else ever saw in me. i opened my closet of monsters to you and even with fear in your eyes you embraced me. i loved you because you still stayed beside me despite the fact i was not as beautiful as you. i loved you because of the gentle patience you gave to me when i was filled with nothing but doubt and despair. i loved you because of the time you spent with me when i was scared of my own self. i loved you because despite the fear i instilled in not only myself, but you as well, you tamed me. you loved me when i did not love myself and for that, i truly did love you.

i did not love you
i loved you not because of your scent or because of the crinkle in your eyes i did not love you because of the melody in your laughter or the brightness of your smile no. i did not love you because you gave me flowers or because you sang me a song. and i certainly did not love you because of the warmth of your embrace or the softness of your hand in mine. i did not love you because you stayed up hours to talk to me. no. i loved you because you saw what no one else ever saw in me. i opened my closet of monsters to you and even with fear in your eyes you embraced me. i loved you because you still stayed beside me despite the fact i was not as beautiful as you. i loved you because of the gentle patience you gave to me when i was filled with nothing but doubt and despair. i loved you because of the time you spent with me when i was scared of my own self. i loved you because despite the fear i instilled in not only myself, but you as well, you tamed me. you loved me when i did not love myself and for that, i truly did love you.
for the record, i still do.
