| first love |


She's just my friend, don't worry, "because I love you. " he first said. 

It will never happen again. I promise this, "because I love you". 

I'm not going to stop fighting for you, "because I love you" 

I'm trying to be better, "because I love you" 

I just want to make everyone happy and I just want to make you happy, "because I love you"

Why are you giving up on us? I know I messed up but I want to be with you, "because I love you" 

I'm leaving you, "because I love you" was the last thing he told me.

Maybe it took us falling apart for me to realize what love is, or should've been... 

He holds me when I cry "because I love you," he says. 

He makes me soup when I'm sick "because I love you," he says. 

He comforts me at my weakest and when I say "why, when you could be with any girl in the world, do you choose me? you are more than you believe, i see the best in you. you care so much and deserve more than you believe and I know this "because I love you". he reassures me. 

He watches my favorite movie that he doesn't like when I ask "why?" He says "because I love you." 

He wears his seatbelt, before me, he didn't. "because I love you" he tells me. 

He calls me when he doesn't hear from me "because I love you" 

He never stops trying. "because I love you. " he tells me. 

I know what love is now, and it's because of him.
