#Iloveyou


Actions speak louder than words

So let's make "because I love you" a verb

That can be used to describe:

 

Yes, I'm not perfect and neither are you

Yet we value each other for the person that is true.

 

Flirting and listening in equal measure

So we both find this to be pleasure.

 

No mind tricks

Just chicken noodle soup when you're sick.

No bullying

Just a hug when your test has you crying.

No pressure

Just a meaning of love refresher.

 

Knowing each other's pet peeves

So we won't want to leave.

 

Respecting each other always,

On every day Monday through Friday.

 

Learning to read the body language

So neither of us will need an emotional bandage.

 

Bringing a coffee for a study break

And listening and respecting when one of us needs space.

 

Acknowledging ourselves as one contribution

To each other's quite large social scene position.

 

And I know it's cliche

But when used the right way

You can't overuse

I love you.
