Noun: A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
Verb: To have a profoundly tender, passionate affection for (another person).

You fell for her eyes, her smile, her hips, lips, and how she kissed
You fell for her skin, her hair, how she walked, and her flare
You fell for her voice, her tone, her caring side, and her strong bones
You fell for her motivation, her determination, her love for creation, and her strength to help a whole nation
She fell for your eyes, your smile, your lips, and how you kissed
She fell for your skin, your touch, how you walked, and your love so much
She fell for your voice, your tone, your strong strides, and your strong bones
She fell for your perseverance, adherence, appearance, and your coherence

The way you made her feel
Was a feeling only a man could provide
She trusted his body, his mind, and his heart
He trusted her voice, her soul, and allowed her to her part
She trusted his history, his culture, and his views
He trusted her knowledge, her education, and enjoyed listening to her blues
She trusted him to caress and protect
While he trusted her to be just be perfect
Not super model size
But the right kind of woman in his eyes
Because thats what she meant to him
She trusted him, and defended him
He trusted her, and stood up for her
See
Love is not about hurting one and making one cry
But holding her close and drying her eyes
Love is not about tearing her apart
But helping find the glue to put back her heart
Love should not be when he hits her and she fears him
But love should be when she needs him and he desires her
Love is an action not to be abused
Though because of the media, the word is misused
I we looked to the past, and looked in our lives
We would see that love is about being true and not telling lies
My parents taught me honor, strength, and being true
Never giving up no matter how badly you were through
You made a commitment, now honor your words
You promised not just her, but her family too
That you would stick by her whether she is gang-green or blue
Make a promise, one you know you can keep
Promise to honor her values, and let your love run deep

You fell for her eyes, her smile, her hips, lips, and how she kissed
You fell for her skin, her hair, how she walked, and her
You fell for her voice, her tone, her caring side, and her strong bones
You fell for her motivation, her determination, her love for creation, and her strength to help a whole nation
She fell for your eyes, your smile, your lips, and how you kissed
She fell for your skin, your touch, how you walked, and your love so much
She fell for your voice, your tone, your strong strides, and your strong bones
She fell for your perseverance, adherence, appearance, and your coherence

You both fell for love because that's what you both deserved
You both fell for each other, now work hard to be preserved
