Things I Love About You. Poem by John Silvis

You asked me why I loved you,
I looked and said there are so many,
How could there not,
You said to tell you when I knew them,
Well here are just a few I could not name them all,
I love the way you talk,
I love the way you smell,
I love the way you make me laugh,
Even when my life's a living hell.

I love your smile,
And your soft and gentle touch,
I love the way you show you care,
When the world seems like too much.

I love the way you touch me,
And make all my fears go away,
I love the way you protect me,
So I know you're here to stay.

I love the way you understand,
And never let me give up,
I love the way you're always here,
To keep my spirits up.

I love the way you look at me,
And always bring out the best,
I love the way you lift me up,
And put me above all the rest.

I love the way you know what to say
When I'm really mad,
I love the way you wipe away my tears,
the you have done for many years,
I love the way you hug me,
Or sweetly kiss my cheek,
I love the way you play with my hair,
And make me feel unique.

I love the way you make me feel,
Like I'm floating on a cloud,
You look at me like I'm special,
And not just another face in the crowd.

I love the way you know me so well,
And know when to give me my space,
And when I'm ready to talk,
I can always count on seeing your smiling face.

I love everything about you,
From your smile to your loving heart,
I love the kind of person you are,
How you're sweet and honest and smart.
