Built Love

Original Submission by Tauriq

Built love♡~Tauriq Adams

It wasnt love at first sight.

What we have is a love that was built brick by brick

A home so undeniably strong of all the choices we had to pick

Those choices...

All those decisions that were made

All those tiny details we added for our love to be displayed

God, I love her

When she stares at me with those eyes

My heart stats racing, while my blood starts to rise

I cant breathe.

Just the thought of her takes it all away.

Suffocation's never felt this good, if you'll allow me to say

God, I love her!

What more could a man want or need? The moment she entered my life, I knew

it was what our lord had decreed

And I'm thankful for the blessings I'm thankful For her

I'm thankful to have our love grow stronger every year

So no, this wasn't love at first sight But I wouldn't have it any other way Because the love we've built is what

wilt is what

matters at the end of the day.
