To tell you exactly, specifically, precisely why I love you I'd have to reinvent an alphabet, create a language, learn to sign The feeling that bubbles within when I look into your eyes cannot be captured or explained I feel like the world stops moving My breath struggles leaving my lungs All my fears, worries, washed away What is so powerful about loving you is the way you love me in return I feel confident, unstoppable, beautiful You tell all the dark parts inside to quiet whispering, no shouting to them: I am worthy of love To be worthy is all that I have ever wanted, needed, cried for in the middle of the night Although there is still so much to learn about each other Adventures to be had, moments to share I am giddy with anticipation your love gives me strength Replenishes me Fulfills me I have yet to really write down how I feel about you until now I've been afraid words would take our magic away I'd wake up one morning and realize is was a mere dream You steal my chapstick with your kisses Put up with my sassy abrasive nature You encourage me to work The way you look at me sometimes gives me the courage to begin to look at myself the same way With your arms tightly around me, our legs intertwined, I begin to imagine what heaven could actually be like When I'm with you, I say I love you honestly Eeach time is unique. I realize how incredibly lucky I am to have you to be loved by you every syllable is as sincere as the last You make it okay All the bad, dark, sorrow filled places within me that sometimes consume my light. You accept those places, You make me forget they even exist You make my light shine brighter We joke about my ego but since you have been in my life, I feel okay Even when I'm not, I know I will be. Granted, it's not solely what you do for me but what you let me do for you You allow me to love you Accepting my love welcoming it like you would a long lost friend you do not turn and hide you embrace me with arms open wide It's magical It's what I've waited for my whole life What I spent so much energy convincing myself I could never have It's everything that I'd ever want and more It's love It's life It's you
