Loving You
You were playing with my hair
As we lay there in your room
And I said baby there's something
That I gotta tell you
You looked at me with your big brown eyes
I could feel you growing a little shy
As you whispered “I’m ready
For whatever you say”
And I said babe I love you
And not how you’re used to
My love for you is bigger than me
You don’t have to answer, but
I need you to listen, I’ve got to tell you
Everything
I love the way you’re gentle, patient, I never know what you’re thinking
But I don’t need to, cause I know you
I love your kindness, and strength, and all of the ways that you’re careful and calming to me
I know I’ve got more growing up to do
But I’ve already grown up so much loving you
I could feel you breathing in,
Felt the blush paint all my skin
As I closed my eyes and prayed
While I waited
You said “baby I don’t know what to say
I love you, but I am afraid”
I kissed your perfect hand and said
“I’m scared too, but here’s what I’m going to do”
I said I’m going to love you
And not how you’re used to
My love for you is bigger than me
I know you’ve questions, and I don’t have answers, but I’ll give you everything
I love the way that you’re gentle, patient, I never know what you’re thinking
But I don’t need to, cause I know you
I love your kindness, and strength, and all of the ways that you’re careful and calming to me
I know I’ve got more growing up to do
But I’ve already grown up so much loving you
Yeah I love you,
No one’s ever meant so much to me
I love you,
You see all the darkest parts of me and don’t leave
Yeah I love you,
And I’ll hold your hand through it all
While we figure it out
I love you,
Even if you’re not ready now
You said babe I love you
And I’m just not used to
Love that is bigger than me
I’ve got so many questions, but
I’ll wait for answers, thank you for everything
I love the way that you’re brave and creative, I always know what you’re thinking
Even with your walls up, cause I know you
I love your kindness, and strength, and all of the ways that you’re willing to wait on me
I know I’ve got more growing up to do
But I’m growing up from loving you
You were playing with my hair
As we lay there in your room
And I said baby, I think I’m in love with you
