I Love You Because

      I admire your work ethic, your patience, and your selflessness

Your ability to be honest in the most compassionate and beautiful way

And how you love me in the light and from all angles

I love you because you appreciate me even when you shouldn’t

 

I loathe when you’re upset

Especially if it’s because of me

I idolize your happiness

But yearn for its presence more often

I value you for your ability to show vulnerability

 

      The effect you’ve had on my life cannot be matched by any other individual

 Nor can your power, virtue, and kindness be replicated either

I respect you because you are strong-willed, thoughtful, and brilliant

A mirror of my ideal hero

 

You truly taught me how to be the greatest, most admirable version of myself

And continue to inspire me in every aspect of life

I cherish you for being the greatest woman I have ever known

 

Melissa
