I Know You

I want to say I love you,
to let me count the ways
but that could take forever,
so this is what I'll say...

I love it when you hold me
in strong arms warm and wide
the safety that I feel with you
gives me peace inside

I love it when you look at me
with eyes so richly brown
there's so much going on there
your mysteries abound

I love to touch your silky hair
so dark and velvet soft
though I hate it when you cut it
to grow back wont take long

I love it when you smile at me
it warms my heart to see
I know you mean it from the heart
and I'm glad it's all for me

I love it when you touch me
in that secret special way
when no else can see us
we take the time to play

I love it when you talk to me
your knowledge knows no bounds
always give the best advice
and challenges my mind

I love your inner secret self
the part that you hide deep
I see it when you least expect
and treat it oh so carefuly

I love the strength I see in you
your body, mind, and soul
I know there's nothing you can't do
and I'll always cheer you on

But most of all I love you
simply for who you are
for caring and accepting me
into your life, home, and heart.
