The Reason I Love You

 

I’ve been asking myself why I love you like I do
Why do I love you like I’ve never loved anyone before?
I never wanted to want what I knew couldn’t be mine
I can’t have you
I know that’s true
But I’ve never wanted anyone more

When I’m with you I feel like I’m where I always should have been
When I’m not with you an ache in my heart begins
Wanting you the way I do doesn’t feel like a sin
I feel closer to you
Than I do
To my very next of kin

I feel like I’m part of you and you’re part of me
A part I never knew existed here-to-fore
And when I’m not by your side
I feel an infinite emptiness inside

It’s not just a sexual craving that I’m guilty of
I know it’s much more than that, something called true love
It’s like every fiber of my being was designed
To be entwined
With every fiber of yours

We’re not young and sometimes I notice the lines in your face
But then I see so much beyond that. I see a woman of grace
I see a young woman in blue jeans
Still in her teens
And I feel like a young man finding love for the very first time

Why do you do this to me?
This isn’t suppose to be
Is this someone’s idea of a practical joke?
Well, there ain’t nuthin’
Practical about it & it ain’t all fun
Life shouldn’t be so unkind
That something so "right" should be such a crime

It hurts to meet a soul-mate
That you can’t share your life with
But it would hurt even more to think that I could never ever run
Into your arms again
To never speak to you again
To never hold you again
To never have you in my sight
Even though it may not be "right"

Some think there’s only one kind of perfection
That’s absolute perfection
But perfection is only perfect speaking relatively
And all I know is that there’s nothing about you that isn’t perfect to me
Yes, everything about you is perfect to me
And there’s nothing I could ever want more than I want you
Except for you
To have everything you need
And most of all for you to be healthy and happy

Where did you come from? Why are you so special?
What is it about you that makes you so irresistible?
Why do I love you?
Still, I really don’t know
I guess it’s only because you’re you
Please, don’t ever leave me
Don’t ever go

Yet I ask myself, "What if… What if you were to change?
Would I still love you? Would I still feel the same?
Would I still feel sure that you’re the best thing I’ve ever seen?"
Without a doubt I’m convinced I would because you would still be you
No matter what that means

Where were the both of us before our lives took their separate paths?
Why couldn’t we have known each other then?
Everyone should be married to someone they feel as close to As we two do


Closer than even the very best of friends
Then there would never be any broken families
And everyone would know what true love was meant to be

I didn’t know how empty my life has been until now
Now that I know you and can’t understand how
How I managed without you for all these many years
And to think about the way I crave your company
Knowing that between us is an attraction that’s as strong as any can be
And knowing that that attraction
Won’t find the satisfaction
That it longs for so naturally
It just brings me to tears

There’s nothing about you that I don’t love
Even every little imperfection seems perfect to me
It’s like the two of us were custom-made to be together for an eternity
It’s not anything to be analyzed
Or criticized
Or categorized
It’s nothing more than love to the ultimate degree

That this has happened to two persons like you and me
Is still hard sometimes for me to believe
There was nothing that we knew to be missing in our lives
Until we found each other and then we realized
What true love was meant to be

How was I to know that life would be so kind
That it would bring you to me?
How was I to know that life could be so cruel
To bring me such a jewel
To make me love you
The way I do
When our love can’t be free?

Yes, there’s nothing about you that I do not love
Everything about you fits me like a tailor-made glove
Every square inch of you is something to be loved
Every facet of your personality
Captivates and mystifies me
And no matter how much of you you share with me
You’re the one I could never get enough of

So, why do I love you?
The reasons are so many. Yet so difficult to put my finger on
How do I love you?
I could never count the ways or put them down in this song
The reason that I love you and that I know I always will
Is not at all complicated. It’s really very simple
The reason that I love you and I know I always will

Is because I know, no matter what, you will always be you
