How Is It Not Love?

How is it not love when
He tells me that my honesty has made Him
more honest with Himself?

How it is not love when
He tells me that knowing me forces Him
to hold himself to higher standards?

How it is not love when
He tells me that being with me inspires Him
to defend and protect me?

How is it not love when
He tells me that loving me makes Him
want to be better person?

How is it not love when
He tell me the thought of me leaves Him
in awe and utterly breathless?

How is it not love when
He tells me I will never disappoint Him
so long as I am true to me?

How is it not love when
He tells me it is more than enough for Him
for me to just be myself?

How is it not love when
He shows me all of these things
more and more every single day?

If it is not love, then you tell me
What is it?
