why do i love you

why do i love you
the answer varies so
“because”
“you make me happier”
“we make sense together”
“why not”
“when we kiss the world stops”
“you are the missing piece to my puzzle”
“my heart would stop if i didn’t”
“i can’t afford not to”

at least that’s what i say
but there are many left silent
true, pure, passionate, untainted love
that forges hearts and souls together
that binds them and locks them forever as one
a love that transcends time and barriers
and destroys castle walls
it’s your loving kindness and concern
willingness to serve and sacrifice
that glow of light i can see in your eyes

why do i love you
the reason varies so
because i gave you my heart
whether you know it or not
you hold my heart in your hands
and with careful caress you protect me
you love me for who i am
for the person you make me want to be

Because of You

Happiness enveloped me when I realized I was found
That you had found me and I found you
Two souls searching for someone who
Would make us whole and someone we always knew

We've always known each other, so it seems
There was always a piece of you in my heart
A beacon to help me find my way back to you
And end our lengthy separation, at long last

So I could shout to the world that I
Am incandescently and euphorically happy
Never could anyone in the history of time
Be equal or greater than I in love

For I am loved and I love so deeply it consumes me
Every beat, every breath, every conscious thought
Revolves around us-where we are & where we're going
The future and the past - excitement and anticipation

Swirling into one electrically charged emotion
That makes my feet float off the ground into the sky
Where I float in gleeful bliss above the world
Smiling, always smiling, and never explaining why
