I love you like I love a day

when everything goes right

I love you like I love to lay

and watch the stars at night

I love you like I love the rain

its lustful calm embrace

I love you like I love to laugh

until it hurts my face

I love you like I love to drive

with no real destination

I love you like I love the thrill

of pure infatuation

But most of all I love you like

I love a cherished friend

Who holds me tight, dries my tears

and loves me to the end
