I love you
For loving me
For appreciating
The life we have,
Mine, yours... ours

I love you
For loving me so much
For making me smile and laugh,
For holding me close
And for the warmth of your touch

I love you
For loving me first
For loving me last
And for loving me every moment
We are together or apart

I love you
In a way so unusual
That my life feels as my heart knows
I've loved you long before
As I will love you long after

I love you
For not being afraid
Or distant or cautious
For risking your heart
And for finding mine

I love you
For reaching out to me
And for knowing and for believing
And for trusting that love cannot be lost
And at last we will survive the worst

I love you
For loving me
When I was afraid or tired
When I was happy or sad
When things were good or bad

I love you
For staying when it was easy
And still being there when it was hard
And refusing to let go
And refusing to give up

I love you
For being there
When I need you most
For listening even when
I tried to speak but had no words

I love you
When you hold me
When you kiss me
When we are together
Even when we fight

I love the way you
Love me for just me
For not running or hiding
For trusting me in another's arms
Knowing that, always... I am yours

I love you
For being patient and kind
For making me see better
And helping me decide
And for just being there

I love you
For looking out for me
Being awake when I sleep
Loving me with more love
Than my heart can ever seek

I love you
For making love right
And for holding me tight
And for your breath on my face
Even now, as I sleep at night

I love you
For standing so strong
When I was leaving
Knowing that distance is only what it is
Just miles and nothing else

I love you
For trusting the universe
To keep us together
And to unite us under the same sky
And heal the pain of the miles

I love you
And God willed this to be
Because sometime in my life
I must have been very kind
Or loving or true

I love you
And it’s not important
How or why or when
All I know and hold is
This love that makes me complete

I love you
And hear it again
Every time you listen to the rain
Or touch the sand or step out in the sun
They bring messages from me to you
