Reasons

She adorns herself with pearls
Dancing in the cool autumn leaves
And there's a buzzing in my ear
A faint twisting in my stomach

"What is it, what is this feeling that I do so love?"

Is it the way your hand grasps
For my hand
And caresses it with utmost care?

Is it the way you look at me
Like you were the first
To actually see what's there?

Or is it the way you speak
Of your care
For me?

Ultimately, as time will tell, I care for you
For all the reasons above
But most of all
I care for you
Because you are you

You are to me like a cool drink on a sweltering day
