THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU
For the kindness in your eyes and the warmth in your voice
For the honesty of your words and the silence of your smile
For the ways in which we are similar; and those in which we are worlds apart
I love you
For the openness of your understanding, and the acceptance of your heart
For the tenderness of your touch, and the strength of your commitment
For your sense of humour and your seriousness of purpose
For a thousand small reasons, and one most important of all
Simply because you are you
In all of creation; you are the one whom I cherish most
The one with whom I hope to share my life
Its joys and sorrows, its accomplishments, its challenges
While building our dreams together and growing everyday
In the love that makes us one.
