Why I Love You Poem
Why I love you
I asked myself too
so many times that
I've lost count
feelings aren't always the same
sometimes it's a little mild
sometimes it's a little intense
Why I love you
because you're faithful
a man who loves me and
wants to stay with me
not just for a short while
when I need you there
you can be counted on
Why I love you
because you care
to listen to what I have to say
not just pretend to listen
but you ask questions and
you check on how I am feeling
Respect is what I feel from you
Why I love you
because you let me be me
you don't only approve
of the side that pleases you
but you take in all sides of me
and that's more than I can ask
Oh I feel so appreciated
Why I love you
because despite all my quirks
you still find me cute and
you still love my person
when I'm all sweet and pretty
when I'm all teary and a mess
bad times good times all the time
Why I love you
because you make efforts
to know my family and friends
not a cynical word not a put down
they might be so very different
you try to be friendly and kind
what a considerate gesture
Why I love you
because you make my heart
jump and do funny squeezes
no one else could do that
and I think about you like
a thousand times each day
all hours of the day
Why I love you
once again I ask myself
it's not just one reason
but a multitude of feelings
it's more about how I feel
when I am with you and
how I miss you when I'm not
Baby you aren't faultless
and I am not flawless
but it feels so much better
when you and I are together
your handsome spirit just sparkles
being single has much freedom
but being with you is a kingdom
