More Than Feelings

There's so many songs about blue eyes

But you're in love with my green.

You don't fit their stereotypes

Or their movie scenes.

You don't get all my quirks

But you accept them anyway.

You want to ask my dad

If you can change my last name.

You make jokes you don't find funny

Just to make me laugh

And you bring me the sunshine

When I walk down a dark path.

It's not just about feelings;

Feelings come and go.

It's a daily choice to hold on

When the world would just let go.

Things aren't always perfect;

Every couple has their fights.

But even when we disagree,

We're on each other's side.

We'll outlast our problems

Because we always talk things through,

And when I can't find myself

I can still count on you.

But I still like the feelings;

I still get the butterflies.

I still love your curls

And your smile, and your eyes.

I love to wear your hoodie

And I love to hear you sing

And I love it when you tell me

That I'm your everything.

It's not just about looks;

We aren't a sappy love song

Or a sentimental book,

But you still love my curves

And I still love to hold your hand.

I love being your baby girl,

And you love being my man.
