I love your hair when you've just woken up. I love your tired voice. I love when you're kissing me and we start laughing. I love the way just touching you skin to skin makes me feel home. I love the faces you make in photos. I love how many different shades of green your eyes are. I love how you can never stay awake through a movie, but you'll say you're paying attention if I ask. I love that you throw things when you're frustrated, cause it means you let it out and don't let it hurt you inside. Broken things can be fixed. Broken people are much harder to resolve. I love when you sing along to your favorite songs and send me videos. I love your writing. I love that when you're drunk, all you want is me. I love that when I kiss you it feels like we can't live without each other. I love how truly, truly kind you are. I love your colorful swear words. I love taking care of you. I love how you are always there for me. I love holding your hand. I love your integrity and how much you want to reach your goals. I love your courage. You're so brave, and I don't even know if you realize. I love that I always know when you're done sneezing, cause you only say "choo!" on the very last one. I love that we say good night every night. I love staying in bed with you ALL day. I love when you make your inner monologue outer and I can hear all your beautiful, funny, brilliant thoughts. I love that you don't let anyone treat you badly. I love how much you love your dog. I love your hands. I love the way your neck smells. I love falling asleep in your arms. I love all the accents you do. I love that curl that always goes inside out. I love that you can make me laugh until I cry. I love how much I want you, all the time. I love that you have a cardboard cutout of that guy (Niall, as you told me vehemently) from one direction. I love planning a life with you, and laughing and joking about naming our kids odd things, but knowing that underneath we are really going to have a life together. I love that the only tears I ever shed over you are tears of love, laughter, and joy. I love that you kept the rose I gave you on our first date. I love how much I trust you. I love that you love all the things about me I was worried nobody would ever love. I love that you want to talk to me all the time the same way I want to talk to you all the time... But most of all I just love you. Always.
Valentines Day 2016
To the girl who proved that every unloveable part of me, isn't. To the girl I want to spend my life with. I sent these to her one by one yesterday, and then I made them all into this poem.
