You have asked me so many times why I tolerate you that I started to wonder myself. 

it's because you never make me feel like a side project 

or a second choice 

or a last resort 

when I mess up you never make me feel stupid

it's because you tell me I'm adorable 

even when I talk in my sleep

or freak out about crumbs in my bed 

it's because when I told you I love you you didn't say it back 

because you wanted to mean it when you did 

and when you did I had to keep myself from crying 

it's because a few days after that when we stayed the night together 

you said it felt different 

it's because you can always make me giggle 

even when I feel like shit

it's because when I wake up in the middle of the night because my stomach hurts 

you always rub my tummy and kiss my face until I fall back asleep 

it's because you tell me 

that I'm sexy

that I'm beautiful

that I'm cute

when I need to hear it the most 

it's because you're honet 

and respectful 

and sweet 

it's because you let me wear your shirt to sleep 

it's becaue I love you in so many ways 

it's because I don't tolerate you at all 

 you tolerate me
