Why I Love You

WHY I LOVE YOU

I like your smile
It feels like a sun rising on a cold rainy day whenever you smile
But that's not why I love you

I like your kiss
Because no flavor of toothpaste tastes tastes better than the odour  of your mouth
But that's not why I love you

I like your eyes
Because in them I see my worth
But that's not why I love you

I love making love to you
Because that's the best way to use my energy
But that's not why I love you

I like your hugs
Because I can never feel cold in your hands even in winter
But that's not why I love you

I like the way you say you love me
Because you've taught me to love myself
But that's not why I love you

I like your company
Because you never let me miss anything when you're around me
But that's not why I love you

I love you for being you
You've never felt the need to be someone else when with me
And that's why I love you

Words that fills my early eyes with amour before twilight trades a righteous rest before the launch of dawn, Aloha William
