The Way You Are

By Ed Burley

 

stubborn , opinionated,
arrogant, ungrateful,
at times resentful, manipulative
that's me.
Yet you love me, because that's
the way you are.

smart, caring, loyal,
honest, always doing
for us and others,
desperately needing some alone time,
loving and faithful.
I love you just
the way you are.
