My reasons

A poem for my boyfriend

Why do I love you?
Your eyes question me
probing for the answers,
begging for me to list my reasons.

I love your for you optimism,
your blind faith in your beliefs,
your faith in me.
I love you when you're cranky,
when you're sad, when you're happy.
I love your smile
and how it warms my heart.
I love the noises you make when you're sleeping,
how you cling to me at night.
I love you because you care,
you need me as I need you.
Together we are happy,
apart we are miserable.
I have always loved you,
I will always love you,
with all of my heart.

So my love,
these are my reasons for loving you.
There are many more, too many to mention,
read these and be satisfied.
I love you with all my heart,
but your endless questions annoy me.

This is so cute! I loved it

[The Analog Kid]

Cute, thoughtful, love poem. I like the humorous ending. It kind of reminds me of "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys (one of the best and my favorite pop songs-IMHO).

[Samuel Dickens]

That last line was unexpected and made me chuckle. I hope you've convinced him to stop asking so many questions. (My wife never stops talking, no matter what I do)

This is a beautiful love poem, it has great expression! And I absolutely love the end, it made me giggle :) Keep up the good work!

This is a very nice poem. Everybody needs a reason for being loved. As I see in love all the time. This was very nice. Good reasons to love someone too. Thanks for sharing. :)

Ain't it the truth that we love even their pesky habits ...
The total package with warts and all ... Your boyfriend
should count himself very lucky !
