The Best Love


You love me because you desire my success over your own.

I love you not because I trust you, but because I know I am loved.

You love me because you value my life over your own.

I love you because I choose to, not because you make me.

You love me because you created the cosmos, and yet you see me as more beautiful than all the stars.

I love you because you are the constant by which everything this world compares love to.

You love me because your thirst to be with me is great enough to usurp all the order of the universe.

I love you because despite that, you will only invite me into your love, never force.

You love me because you wait at the door of my heart.

I love you because, as a part of you, nothing else could satisfy me.

You love me because it is your great pleasure to heal me.

I love you because you love me.

You love me because you are love.
