I'll Start by Saying "I Love You"

Tue, 08/29/2017 - 19:34 -- Kodylj

I'll start by saying I love you, 

And I wish you were still here with me 

But life travels different paths, 

And sometimes that’s how its meant to be. 

 

The people in songs always say 

To be in the moment, dare to live 

But I just think about the past 

And the memories, they don’t forgive. 

 

I still remember your bright smile 

How you looked on our very first date 

I think about just how you laughed, 

I remember every single trait. 

 

I still remember your brown eyes 

And all the music you loved to hear. 

I remember the way you danced 

You commanded my whole atmosphere. 

 

I still remember our prom night 

When all we did was talk, nothing more 

That was the night I knew for sure 

I liked the way you made my heart soar. 

 

I still remember what it's like 

To feel just the way I did for you 

Just the amount of love I saw 

Glistening off you like the morning dew. 

 

I still remember your glasses 

And all the sweet things we would say 

You made me a better person 

In your kind and ever-loving way. 

 

I still remember when you left. 

When you decided I'm not worth it. 

How you didn’t tell me goodbye 

And how my heart sank into a pit. 

 

I still remember you saying 

We weren't meant to last after all 

And I know we're just teenagers 

But I thought love could beat that brick wall. 

 

I still remember how I dreamt 

And would wake a cold shiver 

Because the dreams I had were of you 

Memories flowing like a river. 

 

I am still now recovering 

From all the suffering I endured 

And no matter how hard I try

Sometimes it seems like I won't be cured. 

 

So I'll end by saying again 

Even though you caused me so much pain 

That I really do still love you 

Though my heart has been hit by a train.
