This poem is dedicated to Rayyz…my beloved jaanam

Why I love you….

For the kindness in your eyes

And the warmth in your voice

For the honesty of your words

And the silence of your smile

For the ways in which we are similar

And those in which we are worlds apart…

For the openness of your understanding

The acceptance of your heart

And the strength of your commitment

For your sense of humor

And your seriousness of purpose;

For a thousand other reasons

And one most important of all

Simply because you are you.

In all of creation,

You are the one whom I cherish most

The one with whom I hope to share my life.

The joys, the sorrows, its hardships, its bad times..

Its accomplishments, its challenges.

While building our dreams together

And growing everyday

In the love that makes us one…
