Tell Me You Love Me


You say you love me.

You say you love the way my eyes shine, 

the way I know who I want to be,

how, to your favorite song, I know every line.

You say you love the way I dress,

the way I hug,

and the way, your hand, I caress.

You say you love every little thing,

from the way I walk,

to the way- in the shower- that I sing.

You tell me these things each and every day,

not just because you have to or you think you should,

but because you love me in each and every way.
