Can't describe how bad I wanted to snap and talk tough,
When they dared to mention that you weren't beautiful enough.
Can't remember how I managed to keep my cool though,
Must've been another thing I adopted from being around you.
It hurts my heart to remember how soothing was your voice,
Makes me agonizingly guilty at the thought; even I brought you cries.
How hard had you cried that evening, seeing my cut,
Couldn't stop pleading, stunned at how you could bring me hurt.
Concerned about everyone, brighter than the ray of light in dark,
Where did you learn to be so? Igniting every lost soul's hope like a spark.
I smile when I look at others, having someone giving them all their affection,
I get lost in thought and smile yet again, knowing ours was a special connection.
To hug you when I'd wake, hug you all day through and then hug you again,
I curl up remembering the feeling, knowing it can't be replaced.
I wonder who you really were, now that you're no more,
i understand better now, been long that I've been on my own.
And tonight with the words in my head all jumbled up,
I realize that when simply put, You Were Love.
