Do you hate her?
How could I hate her,
When she’s the reason a smile larger than the oceans combined lives on his face?
How could I hate her,
When she’s the reason his eyes are lit brighter than the sun?
How could I hate her,
When she’s the reason he no longer has tears left to hide?
How could I hate her,
When she’s the reason he looks forward to each new day again?
How could I hate her,
When she’s the reason he started feeling like he belonged?
How could I hate her,
When she’s the reason he dared to believe love was meant for him after all?

Honestly,
Is it strange to say I might love her?
After all, she gave you a reason to live.

Still, I can’t help but wonder —
What more could I have done,
For those deep brown eyes
To find a home in mine?
