It was as if love had rewired itself for them.
It was something special.
It was the way their hearts beat at the same time.
The way laughing was easy and uncontrollable,
The way the ended up together for all the wrong and very right reasons,
It was everything and nothing all at once,
But it sure was beautiful

I fell in love with your imperfections
Your messy hair
Your bad attitude
And your lack of ambition

I fell in love with your tendencies to curse
Your broken heart
Your bruises
And your quickness to anger

I fell in love with all of you
Your shuffling steps
Your crooked smile
And your not-so-athletic abilities

I loved all of you
I love all of you

i hope you find someone you adore
just as much as i adore you

i hope she loves you in a way i never could
the way i thought you loved me

i hope she makes you just as happy
as that terrible rap music
you loved to listen to

and i hope she can talk to you
about all the things i couldn't

i hope you spend your times together
with unconditional love
and wonderful memories

i hope she is everything for you
that i was willing to be

because in the end
what you wanted
wasn't me

I will forever wish
That I was the one
Taking the hit
Instead of you

I will forever wish
That I was the one
Who was hurting
Instead of you

I will forever wish
That I was the one
With shallow sobs escaping at night
Hidden from the world
Instead of you

And I will forever wish
I could be the one
Staying by your side
Loving and protecting
*you

One time there was a girl
And she was happy
But sadness was always hanging over her head
And peering over her shoulder
She was depressed
And insecure
And she thought no one knew how that felt

Then one day she met a boy
Who had known what it was like
To be beaten down with heavy fists
And told he wasn't good enough

They met by coincidence
She was home when the chaos struck his house
He came running
Calling

He met her
And he could see
How insecure she was
But despite her insecurities
He thought she was beautiful  

And she knew he understood what she felt like
Lost
Insecure
Hurt
She knew he could see through her disguise
And she could see through his
And they fell in love
Because love is stronger
Then the wounds
Pain leaves
