Because I Said So...  

I love you because I said so
Sometimes moving slowly into a hug
Walking away, back towards me, heading home
I miss your silences, when you're not here reading a book or the newspaper
I wish to feel you near
Sitting alone I wait for you to return
I just want your presence, your looks, your intelligent conversation
I enjoy in sharing all of your gifts
I am thankful for your blunt and open ways
Will I ever know all of your secrets?
