I Love You Because...

 

I love you

Not for your appearance, although you did catch my eye.

Not for how you brought my angels to life, but how you

 Made my demons die.

 

I love you

Not because you’re not fearless

But because you are brave.

Not because you could see my defenses

But because you could make them cave.

 

I love you

Not because your lips dont leak any lies

but because the truth leaks from your eyes

 

I love you

Not because I lose my breath when you smile

Because id give my breath for it to last the while

 

You are numinously upraising, but you are so much more. You are amazing.
