why i love my boyfriend

i saw this on several blogs, and i thought it was a really sweet thing to do, so i thought i'd try. i learned a lot about my boyfriend thinking of why i love him. it makes me love him even more.

he loves me for me

when i think i'm fat, he says i'm sexy

he'll do anything for me

including watching girly movie after girly movie

he loves his cat

he loves my cats

which he shows every time he lies down on the kitchen floor to pull aj's mice out from under the fridge

he went with me to visit my grandmother when she was in the hospital

he loves kids

and is so good with them

he'll make a great dad

he goes out late at night to buy me medicine when i'm sick

he tells his kiwanis club about our dates as his happy dollars most weeks

he sends me emails just to say he loves me and misses me

he leaves messages on my answering machine for the same reason

he drives an hour to my house to take care of me when i'm sick

he has a great relationship with his family

and is close to them

he is supportive of my career

and tells me i'm a good writer

and means it

but gives me constructive criticism when he knows it'll improve my stories

he makes me smile and laugh when i'm feeling down

he opens my car doors

he holds my hand in public

and puts his arm around me when we're eating with our families

he holds me when i cry

and when we sleep at night

he gets up several times a night to turn the air conditioning on and off and on and off for me

he's not with me just for the physical aspect

and he'd still be with me if there was no physicalness

he calls me just to tell me he loves me

when i fall asleep while we're watching tv he kisses me on the cheeks and eyes

and holds me even though it makes his arms fall asleep

he watches survivor and the apprentice with me

even though he despises those shows

because he knows i like them

and he wants to make me happy
