I appreciate the way my front hallway lights up when the sun is settingI appreciate the way my earrings make cool noises when I run
I appreciate blue dragonflies
I appreciate 3AM showers
I appreciate it when people actually try
I appreciate it when I'm treated with respect
But
I love the way you so gently but confidently stand at my side
I love the way you think
I love your handwritten letters
I love your writing written for me
I love it when you hold my hand
I love it when you're with me
And
I love you.
I love who you were
Who you will be
And who you are
You
I love you.
Not just the way you make me feel and think
Or the things you do for me
You
