Why I like you



When you asked me why i liked you i didn't know what to say
I like every single part of you in every single way
If you want specifics i'll try to satisfy your wish
And do my very best to make a simple list
I like you for your arms that hold me tight at night
I like you for your kisses sometimes strong and sometimes light
I like you for your patience that never seems to end
I like you for the fact that i can call you mine
I like you for your lips that always seem to smile,
When you look upon my face for just a little while
I like you for your eyes that see deep within my soul
I like you for your ability to always make me whole
I like you for your honesty, I know you'll never lie
I like you for your passion so much it makes me cry
I like you for your dorkiness and the little jokes you tell
I like all of these and a million other thigs as well
There are so many little reasons but one i have found
I like you for your brains but your body too
In short I like every single little thing that has to do with you!
