What is it that you love?

What is it about me that you love?
Is it the smell of my hair against your cheek early in the morning?
Is it the touch of my hands against yours after the sun has risen?
Is it the sound of my voice when I say hello?
Is it the words in my poetry?

What is it about me that you love?
Is it the smell of my hair after the rain has dampened it?
Is it the touch of my hands against your heart?
Is it the sound of my voice when I whisper good night?
Is it the words echoing my love for you in my poems?

What is it about me that you love?
Is it simply the way I care for you?
Is it the way I care for you with unending compassion?
Is it more than one thing?
Is it everything I have listed above?
