I have been in love before
This is not a new thing
But the way I feel for you
Is different than it has ever been
I have loved the love of a sibling
The love of a daughter
The love of a parent
Those bonds that couldn’t be stronger
I have loved the love of a friend
The love of a confidant
The love that waxes and wanes
The love that everyone wants
I have loved the love of a partner
The love that is so sweet and passionate
The love that changes you forever
The love for a person you could never regret
I have loved the love of a best friend
The love masked as a partner
The love so safe and honest
The love making leaving so much harder
I have loved the love for myself
The love that learns to be proud
The love that forgives and grows
The love that once lost is now found
I have loved the love over distance
The love that hopes things could be more
The love that seems so perfect from far away
The love that is easy to be ignored
The love I feel for you overwhelms me
In all the ways that matter the most
I will unconditionally give you what you need
Knowing it is the one thing that hurts me most
I never believed in letting go of what I love
I never believed I would have to set you free
I realize now I’m capable of more than I thought
I realize so many more things about me
The love I feel for you has proved to me
That I can do anything for someone I love
Without thinking of the cost to myself
Showing me things I never thought I was capable of
The love I feel for you I will never regret
Even though this love I must have secretly
This love I never expected to have at all
But found for someone who gets me completely
I have been in love before
This is not a new thing
But the way I feel for you
Is different than it has ever been
