You ask me why I love you, why I put up with you, and why I stay with you. In those moments, I can never find the words to say it. How do you describe the way someone’s company makes you a superior version of yourself? How do you explain that in a world full of chaos and confusion, one person makes everything make sense?

I fell in love with you like people fall in love with food. First rejecting the unfamiliar, then everyday craving the same thing.

I don’t love you just because I’m supposed to because you know my secrets, the kind of secrets that no one gets to hear.

I love you because you know my fears, and you force me to face them. You make me stronger, and you believe in my dreams even when I have the doubts.

I love you because you can tell with just a glance what my mood is. You won’t stop until I tell you the truth, and with just one word, you know if something’s wrong. You accept my flaws, and you embrace them telling me that it’s okay to be different.

I love you because you know just how to get under my skin, but, I love our ability to forgive and always find our way back. I love you because you know me better than I know myself.

I love how we can walk away but still walk together.

I love how we can be two different people with lives outside of our relationship, but we always share it with the other. You respect me, and in doing so, I learned how to respect myself.

I love you for every laugh. I love you because you make me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. I love how protective you are of me.

I love the way you love me too. For the way, our hands fit perfectly together. I love you for every hug and how you always hold me a little tighter.

I love you for every quirk and for every flaw. Because you understand me.

I love you for every kiss, every smile, every laugh, every memory. For all you are. And all you make me.

I love you without knowing why or how. All I know is I don't want to stop.
