Author's Note: I've spent nearly all day listening to country music; that is the only excuse I can come up with to explain this fic. It's not like anything I have written before but it struck me when I was listening to Patty Loveless singing I would have loved you anyway, and I just had to write it down. I know it's different and doesn't end happily like my other stuff but please review and let me know what you think. Thanks. This hasn't been beta-ed as it is so short so all mistakes are mine.
I Would Have Loved You Anyway
I would have loved you anyway,
I will love you until the end of time,
Despite the hell's we've been through
And all the chances that we missed,
I wouldn't change a thing.
Every look, every touch, every word
Meant the world to me,
They kept me warm on the darkest nights,
Gave me hope to keep on fighting
Even when all seemed lost.
Though we drifted apart
You were always on my heart
I stand here now,
Watching your coffin sink into the ground,
Seeing all my hopes and dreams going down with you.
But I know one thing,
Even if I knew how it would end
The pain that would fill my heart
To know that you're not around,
To keep me anchored,
To give me love,
To keep me sane in a world slowly falling apart,
To be my object of desire,
To be my safe bet,
I would have loved you anyway.
