Why I Don't Want You To Leave

I told you I didn't want you to leave and you asked why.  My answer was because you were you and that without you, I wasn't complete, or something like that.  I don't remember what was said exactly, it feels like a lifetime ago even though it was only last week.  So I wanted to say exactly why I want you to stay.

1 - I love you.  When I say that, I mean that I am in love with you.  Everything you do touches my heart in ways that only you can touch. 
2 - You have the most beautiful smile.  It makes my day better just seeing it in the picture of us from the Wings game.  Seeing it in person raises my heart rate.
3 - I get lost in your eyes.  Those are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.  When you ask me what I'm looking at as I'm just staring at you, that's it.  I get lost in your eyes.
4 - Your heart is as big as the world.  You are so full of love and everyone around you can feel it and either get jealous or fall in love with it, like I did.
5 - You have long, sexy legs.  I find every part of you sexy.
6 - Brushing your hair over your ear.  I know that is from Zombieland, but I love doing that to you.  It relaxes me and I feel so close to you when I do it.
7 - Your laugh is contagious.  I smile and feel amazing no matter how bad my day is when I hear it.
8 - Hearing your voice fills my heart with joy.  I don't know how to describe the feeling I get when I hear your voice.  All I can say is it is the most calming and lovely voice that I have ever heard.
9 - My heart flutters around you.  There are times when I need to catch my breath around you.  That's it, you are breathtaking.
10 - Your family values.  You love family.  Enough said.
11 - You are the best kind of friend a person could have.  Just ask your friends.  I feel the same way.  I can tell you anything or rant about something and you always make it better.
12 - You are incredibly smart.  You are about to graduate from college.  You have given me great advice and helped me through many things.
13 - Responsibility is a part of who you are.  You pay for your own school, your own bills while living on your own.
14 - I believe you when you say you love me, even as you walked out.  Either that or you should go into acting.  I don't think that is the case and I hope everyday and all day that you fix what you need to as you said you would so we can get back to being happy.
15 - The same goes for when you said you wanted to be with me.  See above.
16 - You are dedicated and committed.  When you decide to do something, put all of yourself into it and see it through to the end.  Just like I would love to get back to with us, seeing it through.  I believe in us.
17 - You are honest.  As hard as it was to say that you weren't ready to be a mom, you still stood up and said it.  That is an amazing thing for a person to say to someone they love and I am proud of you for it.
18 - You make the world a better place.  Everyone around you enjoys being around you.  I know that seems silly with the people you experience at work, but you are not your job and that doesn't count.
19 - You make my life better.  I would have just let you go and not done any of the tweets or emails or texts or this blog if it didn't.  I told you I wasn't giving up on us and I meant it.  I need you and I'm not willing to let you go.
20 - You make me want to be a better person.  I want to give you the world and by being a better person, I know I can do that.

These are just a few things about why I didn't and still don't want you to go.  Most of all, because I love you with all of my heart.  You said you love me too and that is enough.  I need you in my life.
