i don't remember when stolen glances turned into secretive smiles,
when exuberant laughs changed to shameless dancing,
or when endless nights whispering turned into early morning kisses.
i do however remember how you came to love; the way i laughed at nothing,
and how effortlessly green my eyes looked when i wasn't wearing any makeup,
and that little freckle that's half on the left side of my bottom lip.
i couldn't feel myself falling in love,
i just remember waking up one day and thinking
this is it, this is what i've been waiting for.
so please excuse me if i'm a little confused, wondering when
the way i laughed, how i looked without makeup on,
the freckle on the left side of my bottom lip, stopped being enough for you.
i don't remember when you fell out of love with me,
when such a pure feeling began to cause me so much agony,
when the one who made me feel the most alive changed his mind.
