The one thing you need to know about my heart,
I never loved you because I was broken and needed fixing
I never loved you because you made me forget my own self loathing
I never loved you because you gave me gifts
I loved you because i saw myself in your eyes and finally saw that I was special
I loved you because you left me breathless but you fed me you soul as oxygen
I loved you because your heart seemed to bloom for me as mine did for you
I loved you because it was right and it was real
I loved you because you didn't just make me feel better,
You made me better.
I loved you because when I looked at you I saw the stars and all the possibilities,
And for all that time you made me believe in the universe we shared.
