Why Do I Love Thee?

Why do I love thee? 
You asked unto me, 
I love thee, 
Because of those eyes, 
You’ve shown me, 
To open my heart,   
To let love in, 
And to feel, 
The passion that you have, 
For me in those eyes, 
Gazed upon me, 
With the yearning, 
In my heart, 
Of lust and desire, 
Of hunger and excitement, 
Of heat and emotion, 
This is why, 
Why I do love thee.
