When I look at you I see a spitting image of perfect love
I see soft, knowing eyes and I feel that warm embrace
I see visions of steaming adventures under blankets
And all I can think of is how lucky I am to have you
I apologize for holding you back form the life I know you deserve
I love you with all that I am
With all that I know how to give
You are my reason for breathing
Your smile gives me goose bumps and makes me want you more
The way you shake your head and say no, even though you want me, too
Something about preserving my dignity, like they did way back when
That is why I love you
All you want in this world is to make me happy
And all I want is for you to make yourself the same
It's not fair that you stay here for me when you could do so much better
Damn you! Why do you care for me so deeply?
I guess I don't mind.
It is kind of nice to have someone who really just wants to know,
"How was your day, baby?"
