answering this question is so difficult because it involves reasoning when... love is the most irrational concept i have ever been forced to deal with. it makes no sense yet is the drive for majority of the sense in the world. no one has been able to explain it still but i’m gonna go ahead and try to anyways—just for your pretty little mind.

i love you because...

you challenge me to become a better version of myself just by being you. we’re practically polar opposites. you’re so different from me… but it’s able to bring out what i lack in and help those qualities grow without you even consciously trying. your presence? it makes me happy, makes the feel good hormones flood my brain and convince me to never want to leave your side. i know you think that you aren’t good for me but you are in so many ways and i want to remind you of that. i’m constantly inspired by you and i’m grateful to have found such a positive light to cherish in just a few months because people spend years looking.

you’re the best husband anyone could ever ask for: hardworking, loving, and so handsome. your heart is softer than i previously thought it would be and it makes me want to hug you close and make sure you’re always safe with me.

despite being my big puppy, you take care of me so well. you handle me so well too, in ways i didn’t think anyone could. i do fully believe that you are everything i didn’t know i needed. from the way you make me angry to the way you kiss me and everything in between. i feel like i learn more and more about myself the more that i get to know you, ironically enough. who knew that by finding you, i’d find myself too?

i think it all boils down to… i love you because i can’t help it. you have a pull on me that i can’t explain and it makes me go kind of crazy but i don’t really mind it. you make me laugh and cry, scream in both pleasure and frustration. as much as you might dislike it, you enable me to feel my emotions on an amplified level and it’s kind of intense but it helps me figure out how to deal with it better.

at the end of the day, there really is no good reason to love someone, to subject yourself to possible suffering and heartbreak. but i think we choose to do so for people we believe are worth it and... i 110% believe that you are worth it and more. i think mountains of you and adore you to the moon and back all because you are you. anyone else can try to be and do all that you are but they won’t be able to and i won’t love them the same because they just… aren’t you. no one else in the world will be able to make me feel like you do, my love. nothing in this universe can mimic the paradise that i spend in a world of you and me. and knowing that, i stay. i choose you.

i love you and i don’t know how i got so lucky that you chose to love me too...

but i'm not complaining, hehe.
