I Love Your Ways

I love the way you flip your hair in the morning

As you struggle to get ready for work

And how moody you get when you're tired

Or how much you depend on coffee to get through the day.

I love the way you laugh and how clumsy you can be

And how you like to throw your shoes off

When you get home only to forget where they landed later.

~

I love the way you smile when I say something silly

Or how you poke me awake at night to ask me a random question

Or when you sometimes always run just a tiny bit late.

I love the way you like to speed down neighborhood streets

Or how you always sign your name with a loopy bow at the end

Or how you can't stop talking at the movie theater when the scene is good

Or how you always squeal when you get surprised.

~

I love the way you cry when you read sappy love stories

And how you like to text me in the middle of the day

Just to say hello and goodbye.

I love the way you nestle in my arms at night,

Warm and cozy under our sheets

Like this is how we are supposed to sleep.

~

I love all of your ways

Every night and every day.

Every simple thing that you do.

I love them all,

Because I love all of you.
