What I Love About You

By SilentStalker

You asked me time and time again, what I like about you
The things that over such hard times has kept my love so true
And so I have compiled a list of things that I adore
That if you could not share with me, my life would be a bore...

I love the way you look at me;
I love the way you smile
I love the way you speak to me
and hold me all the while

I love the way you help me out
and keep me in my place
I love the way you sleep with such
a cute smile on your face

I love the way you jump into
my arms when you get scared
I love the times that I hold you
when you just washed your hair

I love you when you tread me bad
I love it when you're nice
I love when you look up to me
and ask me for advice

I love the way you make me laugh
I love the way you cry
I love the way you scold me when
you catch me in a lie

I love you when you make me mad
I love you when you scream
I love it when I fall asleep
and see you in my dream

I love the funny face you make
whenever you're confused
I love the way you laugh out loud
whenever you're amused

I love the times you hold my hand
when we go on a date
I love the funny way you look
when you sleep in too late...

And there are all the simple things that make our times so sweet
You make me feel like I am whole; you keep me on my feet
I cannot ask for any more than all that we now share
For you've already blessed my life by simply being there.

    So killing bitches isn't the only thing that makes you all warm and fuzzy, eh? You see there, I knew you weren't just a creepy necrophiliac. This is a wonderful write, you kept going where I would have run out of steam, and closed beautifully.
