I Can'T Help

When you look at me, the way you do,
With a look of raw lust mingles with a glint of hunger,
I cannot help but stare right back into your eyes.
When you touch my skin with yours,
With you soft fine hairs tickling me,
I cannot help but touch you back the same way.
When you passionately kiss my lips,
You tongue exploring my mouth with reckless abandon.
I cannot help but kiss you back with the same fervor and excitement.
You have touched my heart with your love,
Beyond anything, I ever thought possible.
And I cannot help but love you back just as complete.
You have opened my heart with your kindness,
Something no one else has ever been able to accomplish.
And I can’t help but let you see all the good and bad.
You have knocked down the walls around my heart,
Even the ones I thought were too strong to come down, even for you.
And I can’t help but let them come crashing down.
When I feel your body next to, mine,
I get a powerful wave of arousal that sets me on fire.
And I can’t help but get as close as I can get.
When you softly caress my face,
With that long look of adoration, that says I'm yours for good,
I can’t help but get lost in the sensations you create
When you start a fire in my soul,
Which lets face doesn't take much when it comes to you,
I can’t help but let it burn until it's out of control and I need release.
Your love has enveloped me in joy,
Not to mention a happiness that I never even knew existed 
And I can’t help love you more and more every day.
Your gentleness has broken down every barrier I ever had,
And I know it took extraordinary patience to get through them
And I can’t help but powerlessly stand by and watch them shatter.
Your love has given me a strength I never had the courage to possess
And the conviction to posses that strength that I didn't have before.
And I can’t help but become a better, stronger person everyday.
