i never wonder why i love you

why a butterfly always rests wings up

why the moth always wings down and spread

the sun rises in the East

the full moon is gravid with romance

birds build nests without a single lesson

all of these things point to a natural order

of what is and meant to be

that which is tried and true 

what has worked thru the ages

what most of all endures

when i am holding you
my arms feel filled beyond measure

everything in this world is where it belongs

i love you because i belong with you

as does the evenings' song to the nightingale

come morning the lark's duty to sings dawns' glory

i see the natural order that surrounds my life

i never feel a reason to wonder why

that you belong with me and i with you

the Earth and Moon lip to lip

in a celestial dance, lost in each others' gaze

insouciant to a surrounding universe

it is said that if you never had a question

you will never need an answer

and when i look into your eyes

i never see a why, i see every reason

of why i love you so
