You Taught Me How to Love

Why is it I can’t help but think about you?
I can’t wait to talk to you?
But I’m with you,
I'm afraid to look in your eyes,
To see what you think of me.

I love looking at you,
And I love it even more when you look at me,
But I hope one day,
You'll see me as something you want,
Or something you need,
Or even as something you like.

I love it when you touch me
(One hug a day, hopefully more)
It sets my skin on fire
And sends the butterflies aflutter.

You make me feel alright,
Just enough to make it through the day.
And when I can’t help but give up,
You give me the strength to go on.

I can’t help but love you.
I can’t help but want you.
I can’t help but need you.

You help me through my life,
You help keep me up,
You keep me smiling every day,
You taught me how to love.
