all of me. even the yucky parts.
i love you because you write me love letters and surprise me
with wildflowers in the middle of winter.
i love you because you are so crazy in love with your daughter.

me out of a bad mood and it always works.

manilow, debarge, or lionel.

and you never want to remain stuck.
i love you because your heart is really really kind. its beautiful.
