I love you even when

I love you even when
I love you when the sun feels dim,
When joy hides deep within.
When mirrors show a face you doubt,
I see the beauty shining out.

I love you when your heart feels small,
When shadows stretch and teardrops fall.
In every crack, I plant a seed,
A tender bloom for what you need.

I love you when your voice is weak,
When silence settles, words don’t speak.
I’ll hold the words you cannot say,
And love you through your darkest day.

I love you when you can’t see how
The world could love you here and now.
For every flaw you think you see,
I love them all they’re part of thee

So even when you can’t love you,
I’ll love enough for us times two.
No matter how the seasons turn,
My love for you will always burn.

I love you when you feel undone,
When battles rage, yet wars aren’t won.
When every step feels twice as steep,
I’ll walk beside you—stride or creep.

I love you when the night feels long,
When silence drowns your favorite song.
I’ll hum the tune you’ve yet to hear,
And chase away each doubt and fear.

I love you when you hide your pain,
When sunshine turns to endless rain.
No storm can wash my love away,
I’m here to fight for you each day.

I love you when you’re lost at sea,
Unsure of who you’re meant to be.
I’ll be your compass, light, and shore,
Until you find yourself once more.

I love you—flaws, scars, and all,
In every stumble, every fall.
So when you doubt, just look my way,
I’ll love you more with every day.

I love you when the world feels cold,
When dreams seem distant, stories untold.
I’ll weave new tales, with threads of light,
And guide you gently through the night.

I love you when you’re far from strong,
When right feels wrong, and you don’t belong.
I’ll be your anchor, steady, true,
A quiet place to fall into.

I love you when your laughter fades,
When joy retreats, and hope decays.
I’ll gather every shattered piece,
And build a haven full of peace.

I love you when you’re tired and worn,
When life feels heavy, love feels torn.
I’ll carry you through every fight,
With arms that hold you firm and tight.

I love you when you feel unsure,
When self-love feels like something obscure.
My love will be your guiding star,
To show you just how loved you are.
