how do i love thee?

how can you not love a man who makes you a salami sandwich, miracle whip on both slices of bread, at 11:00 pm because he thought you should eat something before you go to sleep.

how can you not love a man who rolls over during the night and tells you, "stop worrying, everything is going to be fine." without you having to say a word, he knows you are riddled with panic and are about to spend another sleepless night.

how can you not love a man who has made it a custom to leave you a q-tip out, while you are in the shower, so you can clean your ears. without fail.

how can you not love a man who dotes on your parents, but still takes your back in disagreements between you and your mom (even though he secretly calls your mother to tell her she is right and you are wrong.)

how can you not love a man who claims the reason he needs satilite tv is so that you can watch the bbc news. really, it isn't for him, at all.

how can you not love a man who will get out of bed and make you popcorn simply because you said, "i need a little something."

how can you not love a man who always buys you socks for christmas because he knows you will never buy them for yourself. and when he gives them to you he says, "to keep those ugly things you call feet nice and warm."

how can you not love a man who will spend 20 minutes trying to justify his need for yet another type of toothpaste, "i have sensitive teeth and i need the baking soda." completely ignoring the 2 unopened tubes in the bathroom because they aren't "enamle protectors."

how can you not love a man who giggles like a school girl when you tell him about your latest humiliating experience.

how can you not love a man who makes you feel completely naked with one glance.

how can you not love a man who watched you deliver two babies (and the pooping incident on the table) and still wants to have sex with you.

how can you not love a man who can melt you with his smile.

how can you not love a man who will watch any bette davis movie with you....and actually enjoy it.

how can you not love a man who was the first person you knew who actually ate a movie theatre hot dog and enjoyed it. then he convinces you to eat one too.

how can you not love a man who cried at both of his weddings.

how can you not love a man who greets you when he gets home from work with, "hey, your butt looks really small today. have you lost weight?" and you can almost believe him because he is so damn cute.

how can you not love a man who can go without a shower for 4 days and still look so fucking good.

daniel, my love...now and forever
