If I Count The Ways I Love You
If I could count all the ways I love you and write it all down, if I could list them on my fingers and draw it all out;
The list would never end,
I’d have no space left to draw,
I’d run out of fingers,
And my voice would become raw.
I love your voice,
Your personality,
They way your hand fits in mine,
I love the way you laugh and make witty jokes,
I even love it when you whine.
I love the way you let me play with your hair,
I love the way you dress,
I love your piercing brown eyes,
I love how they can look green under all the mess.
I love the way you kiss,
I love how I know every scar on your hands,
I love how you smile differently around me,
And how we talk about plans.
I love it when you draw blue on your hand,
And fidget with your pen,
I love the fact that your human,
And that no one else understands.
I love that your broken,
It reminds me it’s okay,
The dark can break us all,
But next to you I feel at bay.
Life can be shit,
We both know that,
You better than me,
But I love the fact that we can cry together,
It feels less lonely.
I love the way you make me cry,
When you walk away from us,
I love it when you remind me sometimes not even I can be enough.
I love the fact that you moved on,
And shards of glass still lay beneath your feet,
I love that you still make me smile,
Every single time we meet.
I love that you changed from blue to black,
I love the new designs,
I love the way she brushes your hair different,
And the way she doesn’t know your whines.
I love that she still doesn’t understand,
I love how she doesn’t know the smile,
I love that she hasn’t discovered the green yet,
I love that she will only stay a while.
I love that you turned her broken,
And how you dress differently now,
I love that your starting to change,
And that I don’t even know how.
How someone so special to me can turn away,
And how I cry every night,
I love that your not here with me after you said forever,
But forever is different now..
Since the fight.
I love that she’s probably going to say the same thing when you move on to the next,
I love that you did this to the girl before me,
I love that we all failed your test.
I love the way we all think we’re the one,
I love the way boys are evil,
I love they way you broke us all,
I love how it all isn’t illegal.
If I count the ways I love you,
It all ends in distress,
Because in the end it doesn’t matter how I know your scars,
Or the way you dress.
I counted the ways I love you,
And it doesn’t end well,
I love that you don’t care.
And I love the fact there once was a page in my book that I didn’t mind to tell.
