There are a thousand things that I love about you.

When I’m with you

I want to take in every moment

And when we’re apart

Every moment feels like forever.

So, when missing you almost becomes too much

And the distance seems almost too hard to bear

When my longing for you

Threatens to drive me mad

You help me make it through.

I take comfort in thinking of your smile

like a ray of sunlight bursting through the dark clouds.

I take comfort in thinking of your laughter

Which is more beautiful than a thousand songs.

I take comfort in thinking of your arms round me

A blanket of the sweetest solace in the world.

I take comfort in thinking of your love

That brings light to my soul and joy to my heart.

My only wish

Aside from being in your arms

Is that you take comfort, too,

In thinking of my love for you
