I Love The Way You Love Me

by Brenda

You love me
balls to the wall-
sliding into home plate-
zero to sixty
in six seconds flat-
unabashedly
unapologetically
proclaiming to the whole world
that I'm yours-
You love me
endlessly, unrelentlessly
wrap your leg
pull me close
in the middle of the night-
put up with all
my moods
the good, the bad the ugly-
stubborn to a fault
not swaying me once
I've dug my feet in-
You love me
more than a bag
of BBQ chips
that you've given up
to be healthier
to be here
for me
longer-
You love me
even after I've rolled
out of bed
calling me sexy
not scary
even though I truly am scary-
I never thought
I would have love
like this-
I never thought
I get to spend the rest
of my life
with this amazing man
that is you
this man
whose face lights up
when I walk into a room
whose voice deepens
when you tease
me so-
Who loves me the way you do...
