When I Asked

When I asked why he wanted to marry me

he replied, "Because I love you."

When I asked how he could think I'm beautiful after three kids

he replied, "Because I love you."

When I found my first grey hair

I asked how he could look at me and think I'm still stunning

he replied, "Because I love you."

And when I sat in the hospital after a heart attack

I didn't ask him anything.

I closed my eyes

I already knew the answer.

Because he loved me.
