I chose you though I am not sure why
Many reasons why we shouldn't be
It feels more like the universe
Divinely made the choice for me

It's obvious you are the dangerous pick
Living life fast without care
Despite the toll you take on my health
Can't imagine having you not there

My soul magnetized to yours
Smile a drug I consume
Addicted to your presence
The moment you walk in the room

I cannot control affection I feel
Skin craves the brush of your hand
Failing to explain what it is about you
To others because even I don't understand

It is not what I see in you
But what I don't in anyone else
High when you shoot one glance my direction
The ice surrounding my heart just melts

It is how you always offer your embrace
Even when I am being unfair
How you think I look just as ****
In my comfy modest underwear

It is your ability to make me laugh
When I have been crying all night
Though you are usually why I'm upset
Touch once and suddenly I feel alright

You may not treat me well
But better than I deserve
You make up for flaws with patience
I get on your last nerve

We fight lots more than we used to
More problems to figure out
I'd rather care enough to talk through our feelings
Than have nothing worth arguing about

I could find someone shiny and new
Yeah, I could get along,
Without a doubt I am certain
No one besides you makes love so strong

Do not ask me why I love you
I don't really know
All I can say is our souls are drawn to each other
Your heart the one thing I can never let go
Asking why I love you is like asking how water tastes: impossible.
