I love…
…how you pay attention to and care about other’s feelings the way you do.  You have a sweet and kind soul.

American science fiction writer, Robert A. Heinlein
May you live
As long
As you wish
And love
As long
As you live.

I love…
…how considerate you are of people in general and especially of me.  Your kind and caring ways make me feel extraordinarily special and deeply loved.

By Ancient Chinese Philosopher Lao Tzu
Being deeply
Loved
By someone
Gives you
Strength.
Loving
Someone
Deeply
Gives you
Courage.

I love…
…when we made a comfy ‘bed’ on the floor with an old comforter and a bunch of pillows then watched a movie lying there by the fireplace. 

From song “My Valentine” by Jim Brickman
If there were no words,
No way to speak
I would still hear you.
If there were no tears,
No way to feel inside
I would still feel for you.
And even if the sun
Refused to shine
Even if romance
Ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time.

I love…
…that you are so gentle and tender.  For some pain and trouble only hardens them.  Then there are others like you who become softened by the sorrow and heartache they have endured.

Taken from “Our Love is Forever” by Cathy Wigton
With each passing day you show me
How much you love me
In some small way.
A word, a look, a touch
Tell me just how much I mean to you.
And with each passing day
I try to show you
In the same ways
Just how much you mean to me.

I love…
…how you get “goose bumps” and shutter with delight when I kiss and nibble on your left shoulder.
 
From song “Do You Long For Me Tenderly” by  Elsa Schieder
do you long for me tenderly
do you long for my embrace
do you long for me tenderly
do you long to touch softly
        your palm to my face
do you long to hold me
do you long to caress
do you long to love me
       with tenderness

I love…
…the little romantic things we do like sitting close at the end of the couch when we watch a DVD.
 
From the song “Elsewhere” by Sarah McLachlan
I am drunk in my desire…
But I love the way
You smile at me
I love the way
Your hands reach out
And hold me near…
I believe…

I love…
…how when you drive away you always throw me a kiss and I “catch it”.
 
From “To Anthea” by Robert Herrick
Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score;
Then to that twenty,
Add a hundred more;
A thousand to that hundred;
So kiss on,
To make that thousand up a million;
Treble that million,
And when that is done,
Let’s kiss afresh, as when we first begun.

I love…
…how you put your head on my shoulder and snuggle up close against me on the couch when we watch TV together.
 
From “Love Thee” by Eliza Acton
I love thee, as I love the calm
    Of sweet, star-lighted hours!
I love thee, as I love the balm
    Of early jasmine flowers.
I love thee, as I love the last
    Rich smile of fading day,
Which lingereth, like the look we cast,
    On rapture passed away.
I love thee as I love the tone
    Of some soft-breathing flute
Whose soul is waked for me alone,
    When all beside is mute.

 I love…
…slowly discovering the diverse textures of soft skin all over your body and finding the beautiful little imperfections that make you so uniquely beautiful.  A life time is not long enough to fully memorize what my fingers sense when I touch you. 

Taken from “Closer to You” by Stefano Gii
How tight can you hold me?
How long can we stay awake?
How hard can we laugh?
How much love can we make?
Hold me close to your dreams.
Closer to your fears.
Close to hear your laughter.
Hold me when you’re close to tears.
I wanna be the one you tell your secrets to.
All I want is to be closer. Closer to you.
