31 Days of Loving You
January 16, 2000
Whatever you do, Never try to list
all the reasons you love me.
You might just discover I'm not loveable at all.
You'll start writing down all those poetic words,
stop to think awhile,
draw a line through them,
and try to find some other
words,
But words will refuse to come.
Basically I'm a very boring man.
I sit around all day
watching CNN,
until I fall asleep while
sitting on my chair.
Time passes, and I wake up for a nature call,
eat, and then I sleep again.
But I do tend to think a lot,
smile a lot,
tell stories to myself,
Imagine exciting and exotic things
while sitting on my chair.
And always
love a lot
Love you each moment of the day.
Sometimes I just have to touch and feel my hand--
Confirm the fact that I am me
and I am real--
Then I embrace you, for your love
is all that I can feel.
I no longer keep a poker face.
When I get mad it shows!
I raise my voice a lot,
wrinkle up my nose a lot
Grit my teeth while sitting
on my chair.
Fighting all the dragons,
All the evil that exists most everywhere.
And always
I love a lot.
Loving you each moment of the day.
We cry together.
We laugh together.
Play together.
Love each other in so many different ways.
Never list the reasons why you love me--
Just hold me close,
and never go away.
With you,
all my dreams are real--
And your love
is all that I can feel
I love you so many different ways.
