if i loved you

If i loved you id tell you i loved you because

Of the way you twiddle your fingers and toes when you eat 

Just like your grandma used to 

If i loved you Id tell you i love you because

Of the way you hold your fork in your fist 

Just like your daddy used to 

If i loved you id tell you i love you because 

Of the way you cry at commercials, and baby giggles

Just like your momma does

Just a few things i love about you, because they are so uniquely not you

If i loved you id tell you i loved you because 

Of all the little things that make you you, that only someone that loves you can adore and see and feel and sense

Id tell you it was because you are made up of all the things that make you happy 

All you have to do is open your eyes and grab hold of the things that make you you 

He doesnt have to see it even if he says he does, and they dont have to see it…but you do.
