You

In all the times you've asked if I love you, I've never thought why I wouldn't. Cliche as it may sound, I hope you see me the way I see you; otherwise, you would not have asked that question. But since you are unable to do so, I will tell you why. 

Your smile is one of the reasons I adore you. I know how much you despise your crooked teeth and how you hate smiling in pictures. But your face changes when you smile, you were happy and I could tell. It puts my mind at ease all at once.

Your eyes, it twinkle with delight as you tell me about your interests. These eyes have seen me. The way you look at me, like looking through my soul. It made me feel things I'd never felt before. Of all the people you could look at, you chose to look in my direction. 

Your heart, your kind heart. It was big and filled with love. You made me fall in love with things I never thought I’d fall in love with. You were selfless and understand everyone's predicament. You've always been a sympathetic shoulder to cry on, made everyone around you heard, and without fail willing to lend a helping hand. You are a good listener, and you always have the right words of encouragement. 

You are smart, you educate me on things that I can apply in everyday life. I can ask you anything without fear of being judged, and you always have an answer. You know what words to say and find simple ways for me to understand.

I love everything about you, even the things that you hate in yourself. Despite all of my uncertainties, you were the only thing I was certain of.
