30 Reasons Why I Love You!

Hi Babe!

Maybe you won't understand me when I tell you that I've been watching you and trying to figure out what makes you so special. Not the ordinary things...I mean, I know what makes a girl a girl physically...but I mean, let's see how I should put it, the qualities that tell me you're feminine, that you were meant for lace and velvet, not jeans and cotton. Sure, you can wear jeans and cotton, but you never let me forget that you were born for fluffy chiffons. See what I mean?

Well, I made a list. I wrote it on old paper bags, album covers, check stubs. Whenever I thought of a quality or saw a girl with something I liked, I wrote it down. Here goes:

1. You can flutter your eyelashes while I just blink.
2. You can let tears well up in your eyes and I'll say I'm sorry when I didn't do anything wrong.
3. You can pause just a second before you lift something big and I'll do it for you.
4. You can sneeze quietly.
5. When it's time for you to go, you let me help you on with your coat.
6. When I'm helping you on with your coat and your hair sticks in the collar, you let me lift it free.
7. When we're out at a restaurant and the waiter is standing at our table, you still tell me what you want and let me give the order.
8. When I open your car door and give you my hand, you give it a tight squeeze that no one knows about but me.
9. You wear pink.
10. After we're through sitting on the grass and I help you up, you give me your arm and let it look like I'm pulling you, but really you've gotten up yourself.
11. After we've gone to the show and I'm short on money and I ask you if you'd like something to eat, you say, "Just a boysenberry ice cream cone, please."
12. After we've hiked all day and ridden horses and sailed a boat together, you ask if I'd like to have dinner at your house and watch TV.
13. You make me walk around the ladder because you're superstitious.
14. When you sit in an uncomfortable chair, you still keep your knees together.
15. When we're racing in my pool and you're a better swimmer than I am, you let me win our race.
16. When we're playing Scrabble and you're a better speller than I am, you let me win.
17. When we're with people and I brag about how I beat you at swimming and I beat you at Scrabble, you wait til we are in private, then you smash me in both.
18. As we walk on the beach, you let a long scarf blow in the wind.
19. As you lean down to find a seashell for me, you let the ends of your long scarf get wet in the waves.
20. As you look through a magazine, you say that I'm better looking than Joe Namath or Paul Newman or Steve McQueen or Dustin Hoffman.
21. You wear a long skirt and ride sidesaddle sometimes.
22. You tell me you took ballet when you were small and then you show me the five positions.
23. You tell me you're wearing a pants suit to the party, and when I pick you up, you've got on a dress.
24. You ask me what color nail polish you should buy when we're in the drugstore.
25. You smell my cheek because you say you like my after-shave and I know I'm not wearing any.
26. You wear perfume.
27. When I tell a joke you've heard before, you still giggle.
28. When my shoes are killing me, you ask if I'd mind if you went barefoot.
29. When you go barefoot, your toenails are polished.
30. You tell me that you've never loved anyone before whether you have or not. And I believe you!
