For Kyle...

I love…

The way you laugh so freely
The way you call me your panda
The enduring grip on life you have that goes unmarred
The belief you share that you protect the ones you care about
The sense of adventure with which you see the world
The way you still find wonder in the nighttime sky and stars

The playfulness of your spirit
The warmth of your voice when we talk late at night
When you share with me the things you create
When you share your time as you do
When you share what you think are the silliest of things
When you share your thoughts of us and do not hesitate

When your fingers slide around my hand
When your eyes caress my soul
When you feel what I feel in a moment in time
How your arms feel wrapped around me
How you feel deep within, inside me
How it feels with your heart close to mine

How my laughter makes you smile
How my humor lights your own
How my voice can ease the pressures of your day
That we can make each other happy
That we both will do for the other whatever we have to do
What is there left to say…

I love the sound of your voice when you say “I love you”
