You did

By FLOYD MINGLANA

Remember when you used to practice everyday just so you can perfectly sing my favorite song on my birthday?

I wouldn’t have done it. You did.

Remember when you argued against your parents because they didn’t like me? You told them you love me.

I wouldn’t have done it. You did.

Remember when you totally gave up your job for me? You went through so much trouble.

I wouldn’t have done it. You did.

Remember when I broke up with you but you insisted on us being together? I found it annoying but you persevered.

I wouldn’t have done it. You did.

Remember when I cheated on you and you chose to look past it?

I wouldn’t have done it. You did.

Remember when you said you love me even if you weren’t sure if I would still say I love you too?

I wouldn’t have done it. You did.

Remember when I told you I love you? I still do.

I just don’t know how to.
