Because I love You


Because I love you

My actions will speak louder

Than my words.

 

To no longer shout, but to speak

With a sweet caress of words.

Agreeing to disagree

 

To hold you

Mad, sad, happy, or glad.

For as long as I can.

 

To no longer sleep on a couch,

But to work things out.

As we used to.

 

To see the bigger picture,

No matter how big.

Even when I don’t want to.

 

To eat your kale salads,

Instead of mac and cheese.

Because health.

 

To remember how you like your coffee.

Black, with three sugars.

Bitter and sweet.

 

To go out dancing,

Because you like it.

Ignore my two left feet.

 

To spend time with family.

Yours and mine.

Ours.

 

To watch all the Marvel movies,

Not just the Nicholas Sparks ones.

The Pepper to your Tony.

 

Because love is love.

And I love you more than

Words can ever speak.
