i love you
i love your voice
even at 4 a.m. when you're so tired its raspy
because it is my favorite sound
i love your smile
even if you fake it
because it could light up the whole town
i love your laugh
even though you think its obnoxious
because its a nice sound in my ears
i love your eyes
even though you wish they were any color but green and you hate the dark circles underneath
because they're like nobody elses
mossy and obvious that you're tired and can't sleep
i love your hair
even though you cut it because you don't
because its soft and you let me play with it
i love your tummy
even though you'd like to lose weight
because its cute and pudgy
i like your personality
even though you don't know why
because its original
i like how you're complicated
even though you question why i do
i like how you make me fall in love with you even more each day because i would have never thought that was possible
i like it that you don't always agree with me
because its okay to argue every now and then
i like how it is so easy for you to make me laugh
or make me cry
because the emotions you give me are important
the way you make me feel is extraordinary
you're extraordinary, important
you're so interesting
like the stars in the sky
or the footprints at a crime scene
no matter what you see as a flaw I'll always find something great about it
you're so much more than what you think you are
you're not just plaster on a wall
you're bright, colorful, paint
you're worth everything in this world
and everything more than this world
if you're lost
that's okay
I'll take your hand and guide you into my heart
climb in
carve a niche
let it be your home
i promise it'll be warm and safe and you'll never feel like something less than bright, colorful paint
i love you.
