10) because you manfully ate the entire plate of over-salted risotto without so much as a grimace, I took a bite and almost spat it out. T'was as salty as the Dead Sea and you merely complimented its perfect texture.
9) because you have the most delicious voice. The first time we met, you were telling me in a roundabout fashion what you were doing, you could have been reciting the alphabet or saying that your eyeballs were made of cheese and I would have been just as enamoured.
8) because you handle so much stress and put up with a whole lot of yelling/ lectures/ nagging just to go out with me. I'm sorry there's nothing I can do about that. We can only hope that time will favour us a little more.
7) because you've written me personalized poetry, you've cooked for me and better still with me, pampered me a whole lot and because of the way you're never shy to express yourself. You sing to me in public, pick me up to kiss me goodbye and give me piggy back rides :))
6) because you're just as courteous and gentlemanly as the day we first met. Not just to me but everyone else too. *I love it when you hold doors open for aunties and are charming to them*
5) because you land up at my doorstep, after long, crappy work hours -sometimes post call-, having sat through horrible jams, driving from the island to the mainland and you still wear such a cheerful smile.
4) because you sang to me in the moonlight on top of a hill, kissed me in the rain on a rock by the sea and danced with me in the dead of the night in a car park.
3) because you like children and they love you back. It scares me less knowing that you are there.
2) because you've seen me at my best and liked it. More so because you've seen me at my very worst; violently angry, terrified as hell, upset, angsty, emo... the works; and you still find it in your heart to forgive me, comfort me and still love me.
1) because you are you and no one else.
