10 Reasons Why I Love You
JOY IN REPETITION
10 Reasons Why I Love You is a conversation my wife and I have. You are the fly on the wall, eavesdropping on our conversation. We are in our bedroom naked, facing one another, sitting Indian style on our bed.
“The reason I love you: You Laugh at All My Dumb Jokes. I know there is something wrong when you don’t react to the punch line.”
“Honey, the reason I love you: When I Look Into Your Beautiful Eyes, I See Love Staring Back. All these years later you make my knees weak with one glance.”
“Boo, the reason I love you: When I Kiss Your Neck, You Purr Like a Kitty Cat. The sound alone makes me want to roar.”
“Baby, the reason I love you: When you leave on a business trip. I Die A Thousand Excruciating Deaths. I feel so lonely without you here.”
“Sweetheart, the reason I love you: Upon my return, When I See Your Face, It’s Like Snowflakes On The Best Christmas Morning Ever. You are my gift from God.”
“Timmy, the reason I love you: Your Kisses Taste Like The First Lick of an Ice Cream Cone on a Sweltering Summer Day.”
“Mrs. Kincaid, the reason I love you: When I wake up each morning and feel you next to me. It’s the perfect beginning of a glorious day.”
