"But I Love You"


"I love you."

A few simple words,

so much meaning.

"I love you."

Family, friends, lover,

some for all.

"I love you."

Joyful memories,

so unforgettable.

"I love you."

Fights, screams, cries,

so unforgettable.

"I love you."

Love is somewhat like magic,

dark or light.

"I love you."

From being flooded with bright, sunny times

to blinded with a million lies.

"But I love you."

From a stomach filled with butterflies

to an obliterated heart.

"But I love you."

 From bubbly daydreams

to sleepless nights with puffy eyes.

"But I love you."

From softly holding hands

to bruising around the wrist.

"But I love you."

A few simple words,

so much meaning.
