Loving you

Loving you was never easy

It was never perfect

There were nights filled with sorrow

And tears

And worry

But by god

I loved it

I loved your laugh

The way your eyes lit up

Whenever you talked about your passions

Your likes

Your dreams

I don't know what drew me to you

I don't know if it was your smile

The way you stood

Back straight

And head held high

Something i never did

Maybe that was it

You were everything i wanted to be

Strong

Confident

Happy

But then i got to know you

The way you hid

Behind your smile

The way i could see

The sadness in your eyes

The faraway look

The vulnerability

And that drew me in even more

You changed me

You showed me things i never imagined

You taught me to believe in myself

To be confident in my beliefs

That is was okay to have opinions

That it was okay to be vulnerable

I guess it doesn't matter though

Cause you changed too

You stopped smiling

You stopped laughing

You lost that light

You collapsed into yourself

Taking me with you

While leaving me behind

People ask

"What would you do if you could go back in time"

I don't answer

Because i know it isn't an answer they'll like

They expect me to say

"I would never meet him"

Or

"I would run the other way"

But i cant

Because id be lying

Because truthfully

If i had the choice

To go back in time

I wouldn't choose

Not to meet you

I wouldn't choose

To run the other way

I would choose

To love you

All over again

Like it was the first time

Because by god

Loving you was

The best

And worst

Choice i ever made
