Everything About You

Page 3-a maritime cadet's story

Best friends into lovers… yeah, what a wonderful story? It’s almost the usual happenings that we were almost used to it. Always have been, always will be. Friendship had always been the good soil where the seeds of love were always sown and asked to ripen. This has been where the dreams and hopes were shared, where the likes and differences were known and appreciated. But how does it happen? Is there something you love about an individual?

I love how I remember everything about you

From the first time you said “Hi, how are you?”

And in the parking lot when I was having a rough day

Without knowing anything you helped me anyway

I asked for your email and said I’ll try to mail you

And I actually did and proved my words to be true

And then I asked your friend to give me your number

That’s where it all started, now we barely ever slumber

We spoke for hours every single night

Talking about love, life and how it didn’t work out right

The more time we’re together, the more I knew

That my feelings inside is getting deeper for you

And it took us so long just to say what we meant

And in your “dog analogy” the message was finally sent

Since then we’ve only grown to love each other more

And all my life I’ve never been more sure

About the way I feel when you look up and I see

The most beautiful girl with eyes saying that you, too, love me

And now I know I love you in every way

More than I think the words can say

I love that when you let down your hair

The smell of your shampoo fills the air

I love the way you laugh and I love the way you smile

And the way that it makes my life seems worthwhile

I love the way you called me Blue

I love how you don’t need make up, and all I see is you

I love how I feel every time that you’re near

I love that when I’m with you I have no doubt or fear

I love the way that you brightens up my day

I love that I found you more than words can say

I love that you are my first everything

First love, first kiss, first to write a song for and sing

I love it when you say “I love you”

I overflow with happiness and say “I love you too”

I love how it doesn’t matter what we do

It’s always a great time when it comes to us two

I love how we make such a great team

We’re each others’ better half and I know it will seem

To people around us that it’s too good to be true

But I know it’s the real thing every time I think of you

‘Cause even being apart I know things won’t go wrong

If anything would happen I know it will only make us strong

And I know I have so much more I need to say

But saying why I love you would take more than a day

So I will end this another poem that for you I’ve wrote

Just saying that this is a specific love note

A statement of how I’ll always feel

And another way of proving these feelings is real

I hope you’ll always see that I love everything you are

And no matter where I go and no matter how far

I’ll always be with you deep in your heart

And for that reason I know we’ll never be apart

And if you ever lose faith or question if it’s the real thing

Just look down by your neck and you’ll see my ring

My sign of commitment I have given to you

To hold on to ‘til the rest of me is there with you too

So my final statement to finish all here that is true

Clariza P. Santos, I’ll always be in love with you.
