Just Because

You call to tell me you miss me,
        And need me, then I hurry back to you
                     Not a minute too soon
                                                  Just because...

                    I often come home with
     Your favorite things: flowers and chocolate
                     Valentine's Day, or not
                                                  Just because...

                      I love smothering you
         With bear hugs and passionate kisses
                    A quotidian habit of mine
                                                  Just because...
 
               I spoil you rotten with all my love,
          With gifts on any given day; I don't wait
         For your birthday or our anniversaries.
                                                     Just because...
 
               Before I leave at dawn, I offer
           Pieces of my heart on a post-it-note,
          Then tape it on the wall for you to find 
                                                      Just because, need I say it?

                           Because....I love YOU.
