I love you! Just writing that puts a smile on
my face.You put a smile on my face. I love
you because of your sweetness, your kindness,
your tenderness and your thoughtfulness. I love
you because are you are my dear friend and
loving companion. You smile at my silly jokes
and enjoy my youthful spirit.I love you because
I have a longing to be close to you and you long
to be close to me. I love snuggling with you in
front of a fire and cuddling with you as we watch
TV. I love to be near you. I love holding your
hand on a walk during the day and holding
your hands across the table at a restaurant at
night.I love you because you listen to me as
I share the small triumphs or struggles of the
day.I love you because in moments of friction
between us, you hear me out. Even when you don’t
agree with me, you listen with a longing to understand
me. I love you because you respect me. You honor the
man that I am, rather than try to make me into someone
I am not. You suffer my imperfections and my
shortcomings largely without complaint.I love you
because you appreciate me. You enjoy my attentiveness
and appreciate my efforts to romance you. You
appreciate my generosity to yourself and my
generosity toward others.

I love you
