You make me so happy. So incredibly happy; like when I'm with you I can't stop smiling and I get home and I can feel the ache in my cheeks. But I love it. I love the way you make me feel and the way you wrestle with me and play with me and don't treat me like some fragile piece of glass that will shatter if your a little rough. I like that you offer to help with things about my car and even call in favors for me when I don't know what I'm doing. I like that you'll teach me about cars and not get frustrated when I ask the same question you just answered two minutes ago because you know my mind drifts, and that you don;t just take care of things for me but take me with you and teach me because you know I'm independent and I like to know what's going on. I love that you'll come over my house and bake cookies with me and that you and my mum get along so well. I like that when you're at work you text me about your patients and when you know I'm asleep because I have early class you text me funny or nice things to wake up to in the morning. I like that my friends already all love you and think you're great because we've all been friends for years. I like how you rest your hand on my knee when we're out to eat with friends and you don't mind when I fidget and move around because you always find a way to let me know you care and you're there with me. I like that I can act like a jerk and you just tickle me and it's all better. But I really like that I can have a serious discussion with you and not feel like I'm talking to a wall and that I'll get some kind of response. I like that you fight back, but not in a nasty way; in a respectful way because the marines and your mum taught you to be a respectful man to all women. I like that you can take a joke, even when sometimes they go too far. But what I think I like most about you is that you care to get to know me and you care about me. You know my history and my scars and my life, but you still look at me like I'm the most beautiful and important person in the room and you make me feel worthy of all that I have and you have faith that I am someone great and someday I'm going to help change the world. So thanks. I really love you for all of that.
