i love you because you always whisper things in my ear as we're falling asleep.
i love you because you roll your eyes at me and smile.
i love you because i know i will not change you. and i don't want to. even the parts that make ME roll my eyes.
i love you because you are passionate. about everything. even folding laundry.
i love you because you are strong. and yet you still let me hold you as you tremble in my arms and soak my fleece with your tears.
that's just five to start off with. one for each day i'll be missing you. kick ass and take names. but please, hurry back.
