Why You


You look at me like I am your world

You laugh with me like I am the funniest

You protect me like I am so precious

This is why it is you

You speak to me like I am your equal

You hold me like you will never let go

You see me like I never see myself

This is why it is you

You respect my family because you know they are important

You share my beliefs because you believe in them too

You value trust because you want it for us

That is why it is you

You show compassion in everything you do

You remember the good and the bad days too

You give me the best of you

That is why it is you

You say those three words like they mean everything

I know they do to you

That is why I love you
