Reasons. Poem by Maxwell Holland

WRITTEN IN JUNE 2011 (after I had seen you for the first time in years)

There are so many reasons.
So many reasons why I love you.
They all seem to melt together into one big 'I LOVE YOU.'
I honestly don't know where to start.

The least important things are still completely important
When it comes to you.
So in that sense,
I'll start with the physical things first.

Your eyes. They're so beautiful, chocolate brown and sparkling whenever you look at me.
Your mouth. Your full lips, how they feel against mine, moving with mine.
Your hair. The way it cascades around your shoulders, curly and dark, hair most girls would kill for.
Your curves. How your body feels against mine, it fits perfectly.

Your hands. Your fingers interlock perfectly with mine, and your touch drives me crazy.
Your legs. I simply find them so attractive, the muscles in them, even though they're short.
Your skin. When your skin touches mine, it sends an undescribable sensation throughout my body.
There are so many things. But it's not just that about you that makes me fall so hard.

There are so many other things,
Besides the physical aspects of you,
That I could list as reasons that make me love you as much as I do.
The mental aspect comes into play at this point.

You're so smart. I don't know how else to say it.
You're a rare find, one with beauty and brains.
I find it cute when you get sad over a 96% on a test.
To be so smart and still manage to be so incredibly stunning is a feat indeed.

Another thing about you, one that I love so much,
Is that you can love back.
Our relationship isn't like other ones. It isn't just hold hands, kiss, and text.
No, it's much more than that.

We connect physically, mentally, emotionally.
More than either of us really know.
The distance between us, however long it may be,
Shows everyone that knows us just how strong we are and how strong our relationship is.

But over all of this, there's one reason I love you as much as I do.
You're you. You're so rare, someone like you..
No, not rare, one of a kind..
Because there's only one of you, and I'd have it no other way. I love you so much.
