I Love You Because...
I love you because...
I argue and shout down every head on the screen.
You listen and nod when you really should scream.
I rarely pick up or put all my clothes in their place.
You calmly arrange them up with an impassive face.
I lose my keys, my wallet and the hair on my head.
You find the first two and others and all before bed.
I'm hungry, I'm sickly, and I'm so down on myself.
You feed me, you hold me, nurse me back to heath.
I'm sleepy, I'm depressed, sometimes I don't care.
You're snappy, hard working, believe in what's fair.
What can one overused, overripe word ever say?
You show me its' meaning with each passing day.
