i love you.
i just really love you.

i love that you are bold and distinct.
(and not completely unlike coffee.)

i love that you are warm and welcoming.
(and remind me of sweet summer sun.)

i love that you are unashamedly Southern.
(and i yearn for that homestead.)

i love that you are free, disciplined, committed.
(and too earnest to see the paradox.)

i love that you know you are arrogant, proud.
(and cover it with a humility that i reject.)

i love that you are always wanting to learn.
(and seek the One true Teacher.)

i love that you are not yet mine, not yet.
(and let me love you ever more from afar.)

i love that we may one day be One.
(and in mind, soul, body be so.)

i love you.
i just really love you.
