It’s not because you buy me things or
take me out to eat
It’s not because you dance with me or
wait as I take my seat
It’s not because you listen when I talk
and smile when I am sad
It’s not because you make me laugh no
matter the bad day I have had
It’s not because you hold my hand or
pull me close to you
It’s not because you are good at
stealing kisses like you do
It’s not because you sing randomly and
never seem to be off key
It’s not because you act a fool and are
crazy as can be
It’s not because you treat your friends
with respect no matter what
It’s not because you are tired as hell
and make a point to just show up
It’s not because my head fits just right
on your shoulder as you hug me
It’s not because your heart is full of
truth and honesty
It’s not because you work hard and aim
to be the best
It’s not because no matter what you just
don’t blend in with the rest
It’s because you stop to think what is
it that I can do
It’s because you think of me and that’s
all I ask of you
