When your eyes shine just right in the pale moonlight
and your smile steals the breath out of my chest
that's when I love you

When you interlock our fingers, the feeling lingers
and each new touch creates an adrenaline rush
that's when I love you

When your lips connect with mine, stopping all time
and you kiss me with passion in need-you fashion
that's when I love you

When you lift me off the ground without a sound
and spin me in the air, making me say a prayer
that's when I love you

When you pull me closer or just lean your head over
and make it clear that you want me near
that's when I love you

When you share your stories; your dreams, your worries
and confide in me, even when it's not easy
that's when I love you

When you catch me off guard, send a note or a card
and text me in the morning or show up without warning
that's when I love you

When you understand my pain, whether or not I'm sane
and your patience endures until a kind word cures
that's when I love you

When you stay up late just to make sure I'm okay
and whisper sweet words that dissolve the hurt
that's when I love you

When you have eyes for only me no matter who you see
and you always stay faithful without waver
that's when I love you

When you make me believe in love; that it's enough
and that me and you will make it through
that's when I love you
