How do I know he loves me
Without him saying a word?
It's pretty simple really
To see the signs that can't be heard
When he starts to stir in the morning
And molds his body into mine
Then throws his arm around my waist
And snuggles me from behind
When he's getting ready to go to work
Just about to walk out the door
He never ever forgets a kiss
Then another, then just one more
When I'm walking into my work
And I hear my phone go beep
The text reads “I ******* love you **** ***”
Or something similar I couldn't repeat
When he does something that I like
That he really doesn't want to do
Like watching a really scary movie
Or walking round the shops for an hour or two
When he takes my side
Even though he knows I'm wrong
When he watches me singing
My favourite song
When he makes sure I eat
Because he knows I forget
When he brushes my tangles
While my hairs soaking wet
When he's waiting at the door
To help me in with my shopping
When he runs me a bath
Because he knows I'm close to dropping
When he gets in my car
Even though he hates its guts
When he encourages my creativity
Without thinking I'm nuts
When he lets my cat in and feeds him
When he sees his empty bowls
When he pushes me to write things down
Cause he wants me to reach my goals
When he goes along with all my plans
Because he likes to see me smile
When he stops whatever he's doing
Just to listen to me for a while

These are just some of the signs
That I see every day
And I know that the next 25 years
Will be perfect in every way
