You call to tell me you miss me, And need me, then I hurry back to you Not a minute too soon Just because... I often come home with Your favorite things: flowers and chocolate Valentine's Day, or not Just because... I love smothering you With bear hugs and passionate kisses A quotidian habit of mine Just because... I spoil you rotten with all my love, With gifts on any given day; I don't wait For your birthday or our anniversaries. Just because... Before I leave at dawn, I offer Pieces of my heart on a post-it-note, Then tape it on the wall for you to find Just because, need I say it? Because....I love YOU. Submitted for...

Edward, unconditional love is the very best thing life on this earth has to offer, either giving it or receiving it. Congrats on your #1 in the contest, and keep writing these gems ~ John - p.s. I love the word, "quotidian"!
