i loved the way

your hair looked

in the morning.

i loved the way you smiled

when you saw me.

i loved the way you'd

squeeze my hand when

you were nervous

and the way you whispered

in my ear.

i even loved the arguments

we'd have,

where we'd scream

and somehow end up in

each other's arms.

i loved the way you annoyingly

chomped your food

and wiggled your foot.

i loved the way you

would wake up in the middle of the night

and hold me,

telling me how much you needed me.

i loved you so much,

so ridiculously much that now,

you've destroyed me.

because no matter what,

i'll love you

more than

anyone

and anything.
