This question has been on your mind
for quite some time.
You've asked many times before,
you don't have to ask anymore.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do;
I'm gonna tell you why
I took a "likin" to you.
The "likin" I took
had nothing to do with the way you look.

The very first thing I liked
was your voice...
strong, vibrant; your awareness
of what is right for you.
Your stubborness, your strong will,
your heart as big as your truck wheel;
your confidence in you,
your thoughtfullness,your sincerity;
your generous compliments,
your knowledge, your honesty
in sharing your most personal feelings.
Your persistence, your compassion;
your jokes, your laughter, your consideration;
your ability to overcome, your free spirit,
your belief and pride in yourself...

Don't get me wrong;
I know you have a few bad qualitites, too.
But, I see so much of me in you;
how could I not take a "likin"
to someone with such good character
such as you!!!
Don't hold it against me
for recognizing the finer things in life;
you are real...
you don't pretend
to be something you are not...
but, you do know who you are
and where you are going...
yeah...
I like that.....I like that a lot...

It is refreshing and uplifting
to connect with another human
willing to be a genuine
"this is as good as it gets" person!
You run deep...you're not shallow.
I will always be thankful
that our paths crossed
and we connected
in such a warm and gratifying way.
That's when it feels like
Hey...
He has been a part of me forever...
I am glad I found him!!!

I am sure the object of your "Likin" has taken a shine to such "Writin"

A most enjoyable read.
