I try to scare you away
but still you stay.
I ask for too much
and give too little.
I get mad for no reason,
but you keep smiling.
You take the time
to learn about me.
You stare intently,
memorizing every detail.
You cradle my face
and look adoringly at me.
Then you kiss me
like you mean it.
I have no choice
but to love you.
