a birthday poem for my sweetheart

I love you because you're very smart.

I love you because you're creative,

and you really dig my art.

I love you because your pillow has a name,

I love you because you're passionate,

and with baseball, it's never just a game.

I love you because you eat Oreos with a fork.

I love how you talk in your sleep,

and how just like me, you're kind of a dork.

I love you because I sleep better when we touch.

I love you because you teach me stuff,

and because sometimes you talk too much.

I love you because you take my sass.

I love you because you make me giggle,

and because you have the sweetest ass.

I love you because you're kind.

I love you because you're silly,

and you can always read my mind.

I love you because you're an ipod nazi.

I love you because you're my best friend,

and you don't like Phase 10 or Yahtzee.

I love you because you fall asleep at the drop of a hat.

I love you because you never yell,

and you protect me from evil cats.

I love you because you always know just what to say.

I love you because you're spontaneous,

and how on the road sometimes you have rage.

I love you because you hold me so well in your arms.

I love your sparkling, pretty blue eyes,

and how all the girls fall for your irresistible charms.

I love you because you have the greatest smile.

I love you because you inspire me

to walk just one more mile.

I love you because you're seldom stinky.

I love you because you watch chick flicks

and you don't mind getting a little kinky.

I love you because when you smile your eyes twinkle.

I love you because you're so much fun,

and you can always make my nose crinkle.

I love you because you make me laugh till I cry.

I love you because you stay up till all hours with me,

and double dare each other till you could just die!

I love you because you're so selfless.

I love you because I've gotten so used to being taken care of,

that I'm now rendered helpless.

I love you because you're spiritual.

I love you because you encourage me to be better,

even when I'm premenstrual.

I love you because your heart is the only place I wanna be,

for better, for worse, for now, for always,

You're my better half and the only one for me.
