Let Me Count The Ways

How do I love you 

I would love to nestle inside your arms and count all the ways 

I love you for always putting everyone else before yourself in every possible way 

I love the love and devotion that radiates from your eyes it takes my breath away

I love looking at photos of you and wondering what in the world is going on in your mind

I love the joy you exude in the most beautiful things 

I love it when you smile and laugh because you are utterly gorgeous 

I love that you give me all the moments to geek out on architecture, history, poetry, languages, coffee, and even the Green Planet 

I love that you give me the crunchy part of the samosa because you know the insides can be too spicy for me 

I love it even more because you share your favorite parts of the samosa with me 

I love all your hopes and dreams 

Even more, I love you 

I love that we can talk for hours about nothing and everything and begin all over again 

I love watching you sleep and being close to you. I love it when you watch me sleep and even more when you tease me about not closing my eyes 

I love taking showers together when we are together, and I love watching you shower 

I love it when you tenderly wash my hair and every part of me 

I even love it when I frustrate you a little, and you say ugh, Lynn, because, let’s face it, I can get a little excited and be a lot nerdy 

Thank you for loving me to the depths of my soul and know you are loved precisely the same way!
