To love someone is much more than merely to have an interest in them. I might be interested in you only because you have something I need, and I might seek you out just because you can fulfill some practical function for me. But love is not practical. I do not love you because of something you do for me or because of something I can get from you.

My love is based on something beyond what you do or what you have. Its foundation is the beauty of your being — a unique beauty that only you have. This beauty is not limited to your physical form. It includes everything beautiful in the totality of your being, everything from the way you smell in the morning, to the kinds of jokes you tell, to the way you say the word “butterfly”. It includes all of these things and it is also always more than I or anyone else can describe. I see your beauty and I cannot ignore it. I can only answer it with love.
