I love you.

I love you because every morning you whisper softly in my ear that it's time to wake up.
I love you because I look into your eyes and see the light that reminds me that someone is thinking about me.
I love you because when I'm lost you are right there to set me on the right path.
And God knows you can send me on a wild ride, but in the end you always get me where I need to be.

I love you.

I love you because when I'm bored you always have some way to entertain me and make me happy.
I love you because when I'm down you always have a funny video or goofy song to make me smile again.
I love you because when I need to sing or shout at the top of my lungs you are always ready to listen.
And God knows I'm out of key the whole time but you still never complain about my voice.

I love you.

I love you because whenever I'm not with you I feel like a piece of me is missing.
I love you because when you are running out of energy I can always get you charged up.
I love you because no matter how much I ignore you, you never leave my side and always love me back.
And even when I'm looking at others and weighing my options you just quietly stay by my side ready to talk.

I love you.

I love you because whenever I forget something important you are there to remind me.
I love you because anytime I get angry you aren't afraid to step in and take it until I'm happy.
I love you because when I want you quiet you listen and when I want you loud you step right up.
And no matter what I do to you, you never leave or judge me in any way.

So I love you. I can't live without you...

I mean without you, cell phone, I just wouldn't know what to do.
This was the first poem I ever performed for a group. Had them almost in tears...one way or another.
