Because I Love You

He reads books in his free time and recommends the ones he knows you would adore.

He files your favorite candle scent, movie genre, and flower in the back of mind, always keeping those certain facts handy.

The way he brews coffee each morning and the absence of creamer teaches you to love the bitter sting left behind.

Your playlist becomes filled with his classics and his movie collection grows to include all your favorite 80s flicks.

You accept his wish to go on hikes and he accepts the many breaks you have to take on the way up.

He understands your chronic worry and accommodates.

You understand his daily need for alone time and accommodate.

He doesn’t get aggravated at your constant need to make sure everything is okay.

You calm him in his moments of stress that are highly hidden from the public.

The communication flows easily and his arms always provide warm and welcoming shelter.

He welcomes all of you and you adore every part of him.

It’s not always easy and you’re not always happy, but there is always a love that could never leave.

You are each other’s source of comfort, laughter, and peace. The relationship is cherished and respected. You know this will work.
