I Do Not Love You

I do not love you for the way you kissThough your lips, they can put me at easeAnd I do not love you for your sweet green eyesThough I love when they’re looking at meAnd I do not love you for the way your handsCan touch me and quiet my soulI love you for all of this and so much more

I do not love you for the way you dressThough you do look so lovely tonightAnd I do not love you for the things you knowThough I’ve always admired your mindAnd I do not love you for the way I feelThat first moment you walk through the doorI love you for all of this and so much more

And all I know is you’re the part of me that keeps me strongAnd what I want is for us to face foreverStanding up together, eyes turned towards the heavens, arm in arm

I do not love you for the way my heartSeems to live somewhere inside your chestAnd I do not love you for the way your armsThey can hold me until I forgetAnd I do not love you for the way you’ve beenExactly what I’m looking forI love you for all of this and so much more

I love you for all of this and so much more
