Today in class I was asked,
\"What does it mean to be in love?\"
Immediately your name popped into my head
I felt like I\'d been hit with a bat, hard.
With my heart racing, I reminisced...
You taught me what love was, you showed me the way
Loving you was like taking a drink of ice cold water after a long run
(But these days, I felt like I was still running
Never stopping for that needed drink)
It was learning about your past, enjoying the present, and planning OUR future together
Loving you was learning about your scars
It was memorizing your body and the way it moved
It was your laugh that killed me
(I can still hear it)
Loving you was watching you sing to that dumb song while we went for McNuggets
It was falling asleep on your chest, feeling you kiss my forehead, and waking up next to you
(I miss this the most)
It was poking fun because you cared so much about your hair and outfit
Loving you made me a better person
You made me a better person
You may not be in my life anymore, but I thank God for the time that you were
I thank Him for allowing me to learn to love
I\'m grateful that I loved you
But, with that being said...
You hurt me.
You decided to give up on me
You expected too much
You didn\'t give enough, but you took plenty
You talked to other girls and assumed that I wouldn\'t be hurt
(I still think about that)
In the end, you cared about you
I loved you more than you loved me
I gave whole self to you and you could never return the favor
You were the problem
You were in the wrong
And although I\'m grateful for the time we spent together
I\'m glad that it\'s over.
I\'m glad that I learned to love in a way I didn\'t know before
I\'m happy for you but more happy for me
You were a lesson
And you were well learned
And I believe that all throughout my life when I\'m asked,
\"What does it mean to be in love?\"
I will always have you pop into my head
And for that, I thank you
