I Do Not Love You - Ron Pope

I do not love you for the way you kiss

Though your lips, they can put me at ease

And I do not love you for your sweet green eyes

Though I love when they’re looking at me

And I do not love you for the way your hands

Can touch me and quiet my soul

I love you for all of this and so much more

I do not love you for the way you dress

Though you do look so lovely tonight

And I do not love you for the things you know

Though I’ve always admired your mind

And I do not love you for the way I feel

That first moment you walked through the door

I love you for all of this and so much more

And all I know is you’re the part of me

That keeps me strong

And what I want is for us to face forever

Standing up together

Eyes turned towards the heavens, arm in arm

I do not love you for the way my heart

Seems to live somewhere inside your chest

And I do not love you for the way your arms

They can hold me until I forget

And I do not love you for the way you’ve been

Exactly what I’m looking for

I love you for all of this and so much more

I love you for all of this and so much more
