Today she asked why I loved her.
I thought it might be important to save the following in case she, or anyone else, ever wonders why again.
This is not an exhaustive list.
But it is a true one.

Because you make me happier than I've been in years. Because when I'm with you, you make me want to do better, make me believe I can be better. Because you make me feel like the most gorgeous being on the planet. Because I act like an idiot around you and you still love me. Because you love to read. Because you challenge me. Because you're as stubborn as I am. Because I believe with all that I am that your arms are the arms I'll sleep in, dance in, make love in for the rest of our lives. Because I don't know how to do anything but survive without you. Because after two years you still give me butterflies. Because you smile at me like I'm all you've ever wanted and all you'll ever need. Because the scent of your skin makes me high. Because your eyes say a million things to me about how much you love me. Because every time you touch me it's easier to breathe.

Because you're meant to be mine, and I'm meant to be yours, and I'm meant to love you.

This is not an exhaustive list.
But it is a true one.

Because you make my life so much brighter. Because you're so good to me. Because you're smart, sexy, daring, and pretty. Because you make me feel and believe things I have never felt. Because you are my best friend. Because you can deal with my attitudes and call me on my shit. Because you make me believe that all my silly dreams can come true. Because not being around you and the thought of not being with you makes my chest tighten. Because you laugh at all my jokes even when they're not funny. Because when you smile and look at me I cannot help but smile back. Because you know all of my secrets and all the bad things about me and love me anyway. Because you and I never run out of things to talk about.

Because you are you.
