The Reason

So the other day i was caking (being sweet and mushy, characteristics of cake) with a young lady over the phone who does bring out sentiment in me. Naturally, after the conversation i was in the mood to think sweet thoughts. So before i went to bed, i put up an away message i called "The Reason". Well, my favourite reader saw the away message and thought it was worth calling a piece but i felt it was way too short; so i thought i would add a few words and make something out of it. This is an attempt at making a piece out of an away message.

The Reason
The reason i smile when i hear the words i love you,
the reason watching a chic flick is not so bad,
the reason cozy couples in public are not so irritating anymore,
the reason growing up and driving a minivan is not that terrifying anymore,
the reason i feel alone sometimes when i come back to an empty apartment,
the reason i am inspired to write,
the reason i know there is no capacity to how much i can love.
The reason is you

Love is beautiful and feeds meaning into all the seemingly corny things people in love do. And the photograph of the old couple is symbolic. There's something to be said for love that endures through the years.
