I love you, because

of the way you run your fingers through my hair

and look at me

with that special look you have

I love you, because

you hold me 

when I need you

and let me go

when I need me

I love you, because

you make me kinder

bolder

happier

than I was before I knew you

I love you, because

I know that I could survive without you

but I never want to

I love you, because

life is more vibrant

with your laugh

and sweet kisses

I love you, because

I can say things

I could never say

out loud

before

I love you, because

you make me feel safe

to be me

and that's enough
