What I Like About You

I write down these words for your eyes to see
About a true, strong bond set to endure
So you'll know how special you are to me

You arrived when I felt like a failure
Wanting to know all you could about me
With an intention so noble and pure

You make me smile, cry and laugh loudly
You don't look down on me nor turn your back
You just love being in my company

You banish all my inner demons black
You make me happy every single day
You show a concern that never falls slack

You bring the best in me out and away
You're someone I can be myself around
You crush any myth I create or say

You have brought, within me, a change profound
And ever since that day that we did meet
Everything's getting better as I've found

I hold your hand, and my heart skips a beat
I kiss your lips and fireworks ignite
I pull you close, emotions with heat

And even when you brought me a strength so bright
I see I've brought about a change in you
An enlightening change, powerful in might

I see that who you really are - so true
I see that I've been making you happy
I see I'm the friend you've been wanting too

I see I slay thoughts of feeling lonely
I see I can chase your fears far away
And I see you enjoy being with me

Failings are ignored for strengths bright as day
In the name of having someone to yearn
So a bond, both different and same, can stay

You are the light to make my sadness turn
I'm the light to banish your emptiness
To adore and be adored in return
