I love you because
When I look through the windows
of your eyes, into your soul,
I see home.
I see a broken-in home
full of cracked and comfortable couches
where we can sit and talk about anything.
I see a welcoming home
where scents of forgiveness and laughter
flow freely through the air.
I see a mostly neat home
That is clean in the important areas
but can get messy around the edges.
I see a brightly colored home
where the walls are painted with
vibrant adventures and inside jokes.
I see a valuable home
with a very solid foundation
that may not have a flawless exterior
but is brimming with joy on the inside.
I love you because
When I look through the windows
of your eyes, into your soul,
I see home
and I never want to leave.
