I really, really love you

I love it when your smell sticks to my clothes
After a long evening's sleep
Held close in your arms, wrapped around me like a blanket
I slowly stir and kiss you good-bye, knowing we will soon be reunited
(Because I can't bear to be away from you longer than a few hours)

I stroll back to my abode in the morning fog and dew
I wash away your smell,
But the places that you have touched are still glowing
I'm filled with satisfaction and the warmth of affection,
This warmth being hotter in temperature than water could ever be,
Because then it would turn into steam

I paint my face, knowing that you love it both ways
And there's nothing like seeing you after just a bit,
Because I can see it in the light of your face,
Like looking in a mirror
The feeling of love,
The feeling that you give me

I often feel these moments when we embrace
And somehow, I know that you know
And maybe you know that I know,
But we both know that this is what we are meant for
Together
And somehow, for the first time,
I'm at peace

And someday, many years from now
I can only hope and pray
We will have rings that bind us, inscribed with the Nikes emblem on the inside
Because when I watched you cry to that song,
I don't think there is anyone that I could love more
