if I could describe my love for you in only one word 
it would be evergreen 
and I know it makes no sense to you 
and it’s not because your eyes are forever green 
like the most beautiful things I've ever seen 
it’s because I truly believe I love you like an evergreen grows 
I don’t need you around constantly to know that I love you 
just like an evergreen doesn’t need constant sunlight to survive 
the evergreen will find a little bit of warmth and make due 
and all I need is the idea of you inside my head 
to know that my love for you isn’t gonna leave 
I wish I could explain why I love you 
but the list is already way too long 
I feel like an evergreen because no matter summer winter spring or fall 
I'm still gonna love you 
you could come and go like summer but like summer you always come back 
some summers are hotter than others 
but that’s how love works 
there will always be pine needles to pick up 
but I'm willing 
see sometimes I feel like you mistake me 
for the other trees have been in your life 
but not ever trees in every green 
the other trees will lose their leaves when it gets hard and cold outside 
but the evergreen 
it keeps on growing 
so like the evergreen I'm gonna keep on fighting 
and I'm not gonna give up on our love because of one rough season 
so for as long as I'm standing 
I promise to love you like an evergreen
