Why
Do I Love You?
Why do
I love you?
What tender
thread bound my heart to yours?
You with
your shields that bend so far without
breaking
their hold on your love.
Why do
I love you?
With all
the pain that any relationship can bring?
With all
the misunderstandings that can exit between
two people
who are both scared and unsure.
Why do
I love you?
Do you
understand the true extent of the word?
It can
mean so much or too little depending on the
ease with
which a person speaks it.
Why do
I love you?
Will I
always be one step ahead of you?
Looking
over my shoulder to see when and if
your spirit
catches flight and joins mine.
Why do
I love you?
Because
of your spirit.
Because
of your soul.
Because
of who you are and what you will be.
Because
of who I am when I’m with you.
Because
of what we bring to each other.
Because….I
just do.
And that
may scare you as it sometimes does me….
But fears
were made for conquering.
And this
connection was made to last.
And given
time and the star's bright light...
I'll prove
this to you.
