Why I Love You

I love him, for he talks too much.

I love him, for he knows black makes me hot.

I love him, because he looks but never stares.

I love him, for he simply is.

A little scared, but a lot more brave.

A little unsure, but a lot more confident.

A little hurt, but a lot more healing.

I love to watch his eyes shine bright,

When he scolds and scolds,

For this silly girl never does as she’s told.

I love to watch him when he is serious and when he is kind.

I love him even when he is cross, and when he is shy.

And when he kisses, his eyes never close,

For he loves to see me smile.

I love him dearly, for he cares too much.

I love him when he forgets to smile,

I love him when he drives me wild

– always happy to light my fire and watch it burn.

And watch me only he will,

For he knows I love him just the same.
