How Do I Love You?

How do I love you?
Let me count the ways;
I love you on your very best
And very worst of days.
I love to see you laughing
And dancing in the rain;
And even if you make a mess,
I love you just the same.
I love to hear you sing,
I love to see you smile.
I love the way you take each day
In your own unhurried style.
I'm happy when you're happy.
I'm sorry when you're sad.
And even though it may not show,
I love you even when you're bad.
I love to watch you sleeping,
Tucked away in dreams.
I love to hear you whisper
All your future hopes and dreams.
I love to watch you play
And all your silly ways.
I'm sure you'll never know
How much I love you more each day. 
How do I love you?
It's impossible to say;
For if I had a million days
And time enough for all the praise
I couldn't tell you all the ways
I love you.
XOXOXO
