I Loved You Just The Same
by Katie
They say that opposites attract
I guess that’s true
Take us for example
But nobody said that opposites last
That’s pretty obvious to me now
The first time I saw you
I wanted you so bad
But never thought you’d feel the same
But somehow we got together
And lasted longer than anyone thought we would
You were so good with words
The way you sang to me and read me poetry
But at the same time
Some things you said were so hurtful
So hurtful they made me cry
But I loved you just the same
Sometimes even more, and I don’t know why
I loved it when you showered me with kisses
But not when that’s all you seemed to care about
It seemed you put my feelings to the side sometimes
When they got in the way of what you really wanted
But I loved you just the same
I loved it when you held me close to you
And whispered "I love you" in my ear
But not when you made stupid comments
About how I used to be
As if you didn’t know it hurt me to hear them
But I loved you just the same
I loved how much you loved me
And how you weren’t afraid to show it
But I hated your ill temper
And your constant need to fight
But I loved you just the same
I always tried to make you proud
Though sometimes it didn’t work
I always tried to make you happy
I wouldn’t hurt you for the world
But I guess sometimes I did
I gave you all of me
Maybe a little too much
But only because I trusted you with my heart
But I guess my all wasn’t enough for you
I couldn’t give you exactly what you were hoping for
So you decided other things were more important
You left and took my heart with you
Now I’d give anything to hear your voice
But I have to face reality
You wanted that instead of me
But still I love you just the same.
