The Answer To Your Question
if you were to ask
me why i love you,
i would say
i love you,
Good days and bad days alike.
I love you when you are brisk and unforgiving, like midnight in january,
and when you are inviting and warm, like an afternoon in July.
I love you when you are bright like the sun
that rises and awakens a new day.
just as much when you are dreary like the rain
That drowns my petunias and washes yesterday away.
I love you because you are Sunday,
You restore me and leave me feeling new.
you are all my favorite colors,
lovely in all your shades and hues.
I need you like i need night lights,
an essence of assurance in dark and lonely places.
i search for you in everyone,
but all i ever seem to find is failed expectations and painfully empty spaces.
I crave you the way my eyes long for sleep
When early mornings follow restless nights.
you are stubborn, hard headed and obdurate.
but i love you all the more
when you won’t admit that i am right.
every morning when i wake, i see you with fresh eyes.
my love, you are the answer to this question…
you are all the reasons why.
