The times you make me act like a teenager

kissing for the camera without a care in the world

The way you tell me your passionate secrets

that no-one else must know

The perfect perfection of your smile

with your little dimples flashing on each side.

Your laughter, my favourite love song

the most beautiful sound to my heart

Your lips that talk so clearly with such care

and playful pout needing to be kissed

The piercing eyes that always tells me the truth

but excite me with their dark desire

The feeling I get like a lovesick school girl

when you look at me across the room.

The way you talk about me to everyone

that will listen.

The fierce protection you give to me and our family

placing us above yourself

Knowing I can tell you anything

and you will never be untrue.

The way you sing me to sleep every night

making you the thing I dream about

But wake up with me when I have that nightmare,

and tighten your arms around me.

Your heart that is so clearly shown

the passion that you reserve only for me

The way you say my words are perfect

even that my poems are.

For all the way you show your love

when I’m distance and unreachable

the times you call me beautiful

and refuse to let me refute

That you don't love me for my body

although I like it that you love that too.

The way you promised me forever

and continue to be true.

For the way you make me cry

with lost and love when you are away

but wipe them away with laughter

and promises of your return.

You light up my life,

morning, noon

and night.

My love
