Why Do I Love You?

Why do I love you?

You make me smile and laugh.

Even some times when I don't want to.

You make me forget about what bothers me.

You make me remember everything I like best.

I love when you smile.

Your whole face smiles and your eyes twinkle.

I love when you laugh.

Your giggle is like a happy song.

It's about nothing but having fun.

Why do I love you?

You make me want to play.

Even though I'm all grown up,

And it's "against the rules."

You make me forget that Monday is on the way.

You make me remember that today is the best one yet.

I love to watch you play.

Your whole body celebrates being a kid.

I love when you run and flip and jump and skip.

You are what everyone should be.

You are fun and care free.

Why do I love you?

You make me want to sing,

Even when there's not a song inside.

You make me forget that it's missing.

You make me remember all the right words.

I love it when you sing.

Your whole heart is what I hear.

I love when you make up silly songs

That don't make any sense.

You sing your own song

Not just what someone wrote.

You sing like there's no tomorrow.

Why do I love you?

You make me want to be brave.

Even when I'm scared or lonely.

You make me forget that the world is not always nice.

You make me remember that morning will come soon.

I love your boldness.

You look fear in the face and shrug your shoulders.

I love that even when you are scared you don't quit.

You are brave and strong.

You see life as an adventure and not a challenge.

Why do I love you?

You make me know it's ok to cry.

Even if someone is looking.

You make me forget that big boys should be tough.

You make me remember that the biggest of men have hearts.

I love that you are sensitive.

You care for everyone you know

Like they belong to you.

I love that when someone is hurting

You try to comfort.

You are a gentle spirit.

You are a world changer.

I ask myself why I love you.

Is it your smile?

Is it your laugh?

Is it because you're fun?

Is it because you sing?

Is it because you're brave?

Is it because you're gentle?

True, you are all of these things and more.

But, none of them can be the answer.

I love you because you are you.

I love you because you are mine.
