She told me not to talk to you

And that you were, "no good"

 

I often wonder what would of happened if I did what she asked

And how Valentine's Day would have been

I am so glad I didn't do as told

 

She said you were "no good"

But everything with you has been great so far

 

What I like most about you, is learning the little things

Like,

 

I learned how you take your coffee

Hot, with extra cream and extra sugar

I learned that you like big stuffed animals

And that you prefer to sleep on your right side

I learned that you like those fudge striped cookies

I learned you love fries

I learned you love milkshakes,

But never strawberry, that's asking for trouble

 

I also learned what love is

And how two souls can connect

And as each little thing I learn grows to bigger things

Our connection will only grow stronger 

 

For Leah

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
