I love him…

I love him… Because when I am sad he brings a smile to my face, because when I cry, his lips come close and wipe away my tears, because when he holds me… winter fades from view, because when he looks at me the universe doubles in size, because in a single kiss I might die… yet the next one brings me back to life. I love him… Because my heart needs him, because by his side, loneliness shrinks away to nothing, because his hands are the garment that warms my skin, because he is the crutch I need to walk through life, because the past is gone, and the future… awaits me just around the corner. I love him… because without him… I am a broken doll, because he doesn't just love me— he adores me, because by his side, my body is… like the beach and the waves, because we share the table, the bed… and a dream—a truly great one. I love him… Because when I am sad he brings a smile to my face, because when I cry, his lips come close and wipe away my tears, because when he holds me… winter fades from view, because when he looks at me the universe doubles in size, because in a single kiss I might die… yet the next one brings me back to life. I love him… because nothing is his or mine—it is ours, even if fortune is scarce, because his voice stays with me in the moments when I am alone, because I reach out my hands… and his brush against them. I love him… With a feeling I cannot explain, but which my soul calls… “Love” above all else. I love him above all else… I love him… I love him…
