I Love You Anyways

She was beautiful.

Her face was the last one you wanted to see,

Before falling asleep

And the first in the morning.

Her laugh was contagious

But her smile,

That was a dangerous weapon.

But that was before her heart broke.

That was before she wanted to kill her old self.

That was then she was dangerous.

Her face was only something you wanted to challenge.

A late Saturday night,

Never a Sunday morning.

Her laugh wasn’t something you noticed.

And her smile,

It was a killer.

But that was before she was loved.

That was before she found herself.

But then he destroyed her,

Again.

But that was okay.

Because he loved her.

He loved her smile.

Her kisses and her body.

Especially when it was a late night,

He loved the way she made him feel.

But he didn’t see the better parts of her.

The way she stutters when she’s nervous,

Or when she’s a grumpy mess in the morning.

How she'd look like an angry teddy bear

When you pissed her off

And you just want to kiss her until she smiles.

Or how she laughs so loud,

Everyone looks at her

And she just keeps cracking up.

Or the worst parts of her.

When she isolates herself

Because she had the worst day ever.

Or when she gets sick

And slow songs make her feel better.

Or when her heart broke

And she wouldn’t talk to anyone for a month.

You weren’t there were you?

You don’t see past her outer beauty

But she’s more than a perfect smile

And a sexy body.

She’s more than the curves and kisses.

She’s a mess in the morning

And sometimes during the day.

But she was art.

She made you want to feel something more.

But he didn’t see that.

So she goes for the heartbreakers.

Because he taught her how to love.

He taught her that she had to be perfect

And to hide her best qualities.

If I were him,

I never would’ve broke your heart,

But you didn’t see me like that.

But it’s okay

I forgive you.

I love you anyways.
