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.

'I love you because you are Sunday...Lovely in all your shades and hues' I kept coming back to this stanza. Nice imagery.
