Love amongst the ruins..

Before I met you I was embracing solitude

I had that perseverance and attitude

That strength within to go solo

I said I will never love again, oh no!

But then you were there and everything I said disappeared

and then I loved you and that was what I feared

"Why did I love you?", you would usually ask

and I would usually answer, "Just because"

So instead of why let me tell you when I did right now

Even it feels like writing you an unrequited vow.


I loved you when you asked me how my day has been

And I'll immediately tell you everything 

From hells to heavens in my journey through medschool

To my problems from a guy who I thought was cool.

You see we were friends before I fell in love with you

We would talk about who left us and how stupid they were

To let go of us when we know we're falling for each other.


I loved you when you said you wanna hear my prayer

and every night since then we'd always do it together

I prayed for every person I loved and cherished

to be safe and be healthy  as always

I even include you to heal from what is hurting you

I never for one second thought you'd hurt me too.


I loved you when you asked me my birthday wish that night

I said every prayer we said together with every might

That's when i finally said I love you

And that was the day I swear I went to the path of me and you.

I loved you when you greeted me on my birthday at the last hour

because you said, "save the best for last".

That's when I swear you would be my last.


I loved you when you gave me Sherry

With a large red ribbon and a humongous belly.

You told me take care of her for she is you when you're away

And I swear I would hug her everyday.


I loved you when you would talk like a baby to me

You being you, so clingy and so mushy

I love you when you made me feel like I was royalty

and even on days when I feel like your last priority.

I love you when you would ask me to go to a Wedding expo

to get a feel of how it be will for us, you're such a weirdo

I loved you most when I asked you what wedding I deserve

and you answered with, "with all of the best in the world"


But then everything went upside down

when at the side you're looking for others to wear my crown

I still loved you when I found her out

I still loved you without a doubt.

But you know when I loved you the most, more than ever?

It was when you said, "You deserve better!"

When you decided to let me go

That's when I loved you more than you'll ever know.
