Virtuous
Don't tell me I'm pretty
Tell me that I'm passionate
That I have drive
Tell me that I make you laugh
That I know how to make your day better
Don't tell me I seem nice
Tell me that I'm kind and compassionate
Tell me that I'm not afraid to dream and to dream big
Don't tell me I'm perfect
Tell me the you love me despite my flaws
That you want to spend the rest of your life with me
Don't tell me I'm beautiful
Tell me that you'll be faithful and forever true

Nathan
I want to know what it feels like
To be loved unconditionally
For all I seem to feel
Is the sour taste of the unrequited
Can you love me?
Walking down the aisle
You asked me
The reason I love you
It was very simple
But hard to understand
So here’s why I love you

The first day I saw you
Was the day I felt that I’m alive
The first time I saw you smiling
Was the time I felt my heart is smiling
The first time you looked at me
Was the first moment I felt butterflies
And I really wanted to say
Thank you for making me feel alive

Days turned to months
Months turned to years
And I’m still looking at you
Like the first time I saw you
That pink lips you always used to bite
The long curly hair that waved me off
I still remember
How I used to fell for you everyday

And now you’re mine and
I’m proud to say that
I want to scream to the world
Saying how much I love you
To say how I felt when you hug me every time
To say how cute you were when you were crying
To say how stubborn you were when you’re with me
And I loved the way you were
But I couldn’t say anything
As the seasons kept changing

One day I’ll write a story about our love
Where we planned our future
with so much effort
With so much love
But you left everything at the end
Even though you didn’t like sad endings
But I do understand you baby        more than myself
Because I knew
Situations brake the relationships

I know you were with me in every situation
But what’s meant to be will always happen at the end
And we weren’t meant for each other
Because I saw you smiling with him
But the thing he couldn’t understood was
The worsen up pain behind your smile
Where I understood even before you smile

And this is why I love you baby
Because I saw the love from your eyes
Then you whispered
“I love you higher than the sky”
And my heart skipped a beat
Remembering how I used to tell that to you everyday

That was the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard in my life
Shattered dreams where it left painful memories
Now I’m faraway
All alone but you’re by my side
Because I carried all the memories we had
Keeping them all in my heart
Happily
Broken yet happy in his memories

— The End —
