Why?

Because ....

.... I like to see you smile

and make you happy

even if just for a short while

and when you look at me

with that short, subtle laugh

for a second I fade away.

I find it hard to follow

what you say.

And if I never get

another chance to say so

I want you to know

You've remade me, to what I want to be.

Taught me how....

And though it may seem terribly trite...

... thanks ...
