when you wake up,
remember that i love you . . .


more than you will ever know;
more than you will understand;
more than what you see;
and how i make you feel.


i love you more than the conflicts,
the mishaps, the lapses,
and the shortcomings.
i love you more than the apologies,
the differences,
and the misunderstandings.


i love you not because.

instead, i love you despite.
