emotional

• despite being a dominant and what one might assume about such people, they really are so much of a giver, are more than affectionate and more concerned about taking care of me than any of my past lovers; they are quite lavish about it, too, I feel so honoured
• how comforting they are, how much they are able to relax me just by being, how much they feel like home
• how much concern they show for me, especially wrt my wants and needs
• how much they care about my well being, consent, and safety
• how supportive they are of me, entirely
  • wrt recovery, personal ambitions, life, etc.
• how their affection seems to flow
  • it glides slow and steady, then grows large and encompassing, then recedes quietly until the next flood, it's constantly warm and buzzing like spring, and reminds me of honey
• their everlasting patience and the absence of pressure they provide
• their willingness to open themselves up again to a new relationship after so much hell

mental

• generally not a repulsive human being; not racist, sexist, etc.; not exasperating or tedious whatsoever
• naturally, how their interest in kink so well fits mine like a glove
• their ability to foreclose necessary information, good or bad, for the sake of progression in our relationship
• their endless spoilage of me, their complete generosity and mind to give, it is so overwhelming
• their general ambition, work ethic, ability to channel their neuroses into useful tools to better themselves, etc.
• their general intelligence and interesting interests
• their honesty
• their mature state of mind, no low-grade sense of humor, not ignorant, more than generally aware of others and the state of things and how a decent person should be;
• their self-awareness; despite unknowns and muddled interests, they are aware of their shortcomings and inconclusives, etc.
• their sense of taste, in fashion, art, literature, etc.
• their willingness to admit adverse things about themselves both to themselves and to me
• their willingness to share themselves with me at all

physical

• a lovely accent, and high vocabulary which I find cute somehow
• a most adorable nose
• beautiful skeletal structure
• brilliant lips that curl in such a way that makes me think of something I might want but can't have
• earthy hair colour that I so love
• everything
• gentle neck, wonderful clavicles
• lovely skin, lovely, lovely, lovely form
• perfect long, spidery hands with lovely nails and bones
• their clear laugh, their smile, the way they look at me
• those lovely teeth

&&

• of course, I'm appreciative that they reciprocate my affections
• that I am able to relax them as well, or cheer them up
• that somehow they have decided that, I, smallest of all things on earth, am able to make things any little bit better for them at all
• that they somehow have come to feel that being in a relationship with me would be better than the alternative; I am so, so incredibly lucky
