I love you when we look in each others' eyes and just smile.

I love you when I hug you for a long time and you do a little wiggle happy dance after a few minutes.

I love you when we have a whole conversation in gentle sighs.

I love you when I see your name flash on the screen of my phone.

I love you when the sun comes up and goes down as if our hold hasn't even broken.

I love you when you stroke my ear and hold your hand against my head to help me calm down and fall asleep.

I love you when you're there to hold and kiss me when I wake up.

I love you when I touch those pants you borrowed from me, since they're warmer than the ones you had with you.

I love you when we laugh together.

I love you when we listen to the same two songs forever and still want more.

I love you when say it's okay, baby. 

I love you when you're here, and when you aren't. When you're happy, and when you're sad. When you're asleep and awake.

I love you now, tomorrow, the next day, and every day after that.

I wish I had brought you to the sunset down by the river before you left, so that we could enjoy the sight of infinite possibility.

I wish I had given you one last kiss before I let you go back to the prison of your home.

I wish I told you one more time in your ear that I love you. That I love you more than I ever thought was possible.

I look out my window and I see a single twinkling star. I see it in the gleam of your eyes. It's my jude star. I hope it stays there forever, shining on me as I sleep and dream of warm hands embracing and fighting the coldness of winter's howls.
