I love him because
he mirrors back to me
what I need to see
to be better

in his way

that which I
grow uneasy about
spend sleeepless nights
tossing and turning about
because I don't want
to ever lose
so I lose it
praying that love is
from now til forever

in his way

I love him because
he understands how to
deal with me even when
he doesn't understand me
so as a result if he hurt me
he didn't do so intentionally
he just checked me

in his way

cause Lord knows I be
needing it
