So I Loved You More

I saw it in your quiet smile
In the way your eyes looked away for a while
The sunset in your voice
Told me goodbye wasn’t a choice
I knew we were nearing the end
But I held on, like time wouldn’t bend
So I loved you more, with every breath I knew
Poured my heart like morning dew
Even with goodbye in sight
I gave you all of my light
If we were meant to fall apart
Then I’d still give you my whole heart
Because I knew it’d end
So I loved you more
I memorized the way you speak
Held every word like it might be the last I’d keep
Even when silence filled the room
I painted it with thoughts of you
And though you were slowly slipping through
I stayed close, just to feel you
So I loved you more, with every breath I knew
Poured my heart like morning dew
Even with goodbye in sight
I gave you all of my light
If we were meant to fall apart
Then I’d still give you my whole heart
Because I knew it’d end
So I loved you more
Loving you with all I had
Was the softest kind of sad
But I wouldn’t change a thing
Even knowing what time would bring
So I loved you more, than I ever planned
Held you gently in my hands
Even as you slipped away
I smiled through the ache each day
If I had to lose you now
I’d still love you more somehow
Because I knew it’d end
So I loved you more
