How I loved you


I didn't love you for your smile

I didn't love you for your eyes

I didn't love you for your laugh

I loved you by surprise

 

I didn't love you because you were smart

I didn't love you because you were kind

I didn't love you because you were funny

I loved you even though you weren't mine

 

I loved you when you were nervous

I loved you when you were shy

I loved you when you were mad

I stopped when you made me cry
