“Why do you love me?” He asked.

“Because you’re you,” she replied.

“Give me reasons,” he pushed.

“I don’t need reasons when I love someone as much as you. But if I were to name them, we’d be here all night.”

“I just need you to tell me, I just need to hear you… that’s all I ask,” he says as she pulls him into a hug.

“I love your heart, because you let me inside. Not everyone let’s demons sleep inside their heart. If I were you, I’d keep someone like me at bay.”

“You’re not a demon.”

“I could prove that I am.”

“Is my heart all you like?” He whispered.

“I love your face and the kisses you give me. I love your tight hugs, how I can’t breathe when you’re near,” she kisses his forehead lightly as they lay in the sheets.

“How can you love me?”

“Because you’re you!”

“And that’s enough?”

“Always,” she replied.

“Always,” he agreed.

“I love your hair, the softness and how you look when you run a hand through it. I love how when you come home from work, you look so tired… and then I know- you tried your very hardest for you and I.”

“I do, I really do. But it’s never enough to get you the things you want.”

“Darlin’, love doesn’t come with a price tag. It’s free if it’s earned. I don’t want an object to love when I can have you. All I need is you.”

“Every girl wants fancy things.”

“I told you I was different.”

“Maybe so.”

“I love your smile, how goofy you look when you see kids playing. I love how you smile at me and tell me to look. But all I see is you, honey. That’s all I ever see,” the girl whispers into her boyfriend’s hair.

“I love all of you.”

“And likewise, smarty.”

“Thank you for being here for someone like me. Thank you for putting up with all my crap, I know I can be an ass,” he says.

“I love every bit of you, gorgeous. And there is more I love, too. But you’re starting to drift to sleep. And hey, you know what?”

“What?” He murmurs as his lids drop low.

“I even love you when you’re being an ass, it’s kinda cute, babe,” she replies.

And to the devil in disguise that entered his heart, well, he thanks her everyday. She was why he still believed in love.
