I'Ll Tell You Why

I’ll tell you why…

When I watch you work, you demonstrate power and strength.
And I am in awe.

When I listen to you talk, you speak with wisdom, sense, fairness and truth.
And I am filled with admiration.

When I am with you – wherever you go, it is because you want me with you;
  Not because you feel obligated to have me there.
And I am grateful for that.

When you hold my hand – in the supermarket, car or alone in bed,
You share your affection for me with me.
And I feel like I am special to you.

When you hold me in your arms, you make me feel protected, secure and loved.
And I have never been so at peace.

Whenever you say my name (whichever one) or call me “girl”,
Hearing it from your lips always makes me smile.

When you lie next to me at night and gently brush the hair from my face,
Look into my eyes and tell me you love me,
I have no doubts about your sincerity – I can feel it, I can see it and I can hear it.

You want to share everything in your life with me,
And you want to partake in everything in my life.
I have never experienced that unselfishness before and I appreciate that.

In addition to all that I have mentioned –

You make me laugh.

You listen to what I have to say (when you can hear me).

You are an incredibly handsome man, whom I find difficult not to touch when you are near 
me.

The passion in our kisses is raw and meaningful – a wonderful combination that melts my 
heart and warms me inside.

Your generosity, sincerity and demonstration of love are second to none in this world over.

You are everything I ever wanted in a man, that I thought I would never find in one alone.

And that, Herb, is why I love you.
