I Love The Way You Are

I love the way you are

I love everything about you

The way you squint your eyes,

and smile when the sun hits your face

As I stare at your beautiful ocean eyes,

A cool breeze lifts your beautiful reddish hair off your shoulder,

and the constellation of your speckle freckles

I love the way you are

Your beautiful personality

As you show your kindness and understanding

The way you show sympathy

For those who are hurt from their broken hearts

I love the way you are

The way you smile when you’re genuinely happy

All the happiness you bring when you show your sense of humor

You put some smiles on others

And care for those who are close to your heart

There is nothing more beautiful than you

Who continues to fight for others

Despite the chaos and madness in the world,

the world isn’t perfect and people aren’t as well,

but you are

I love the way you are

In more ways than one

You’ve shown me that I’m important,

Your personality,

Your kindness,

Your beauty,

and your love

I’m the happiest boyfriend you could ever have

And you’re the only girl that I ever loved

I love you

No one can ever change you
