I Love You Because You Know Me Better Than I Know Myself

I love you because you know exactly how my mind works.

You know how to explain something to me in a way that I will understand when Im confused.

You know the way that I put things together inside of my head.

I love you because you know exactly which YouTuber to put on when I need cheering up.

I love you because you know exactly what jokes will make me laugh the hardest.

I love you because you know exactly what Im thinking about before I say a single word.

I love you because you know exactly which presents to buy me for the holidays.

Presents that I didnt even know that I wanted before I unwrapped them in front of you.

Presents that show you are sentimental.

That you think I matter.

That you think Im worth it.

Because you keep track of everything I like because you actually care about my interests.

I love you because you actuallypay attention.

Because it’s possible for you to point out little habits I have that I never even noticed myself.

Because you know me better than I know myself.

I love you because you love every little piece of me even the dark parts.

Even the awkward parts.

I love you because there arent any secrets between us.

Because you know everything about me and you havent run away scared.

You havent decided that I have too much baggage for you to handle.

You havent told me Im too weird or complicated ordifficult to love.

I love you because you are one of the few people in this world who know therealme.

You dont only love the version of myself that I play when I am dressed up and trying hard.

You love the real me.

And I love you.
