I still love you in the mornings

I was inspired by the poem "You, The Stars, and I" by many of YWP's wonderful writers (https://youngwritersproject.org/node/46498). Thank you so much to everyone who worked on that piece! 

I still love you in the mornings, 
I still love you when it’s cold. 
I still love you in the dusk and dawn and fields and flowers and snow. 

I still love you when I’m sleeping, 
I still love you when I’m not. 
I still love you when I’m itchy or old or freezing or warm or hot. 

I still love you when I’m angry, 
I still love you when I'm sad.
I still love you when I’m happy or jealous or lazy or crazy or mad. 

I still love you when I’m running,
I still love you when I walk. 
I still love you when I’m laughing and jumping and screaming and playing with chalk.  

I love you with a penny 
or a giant yellow yacht. 
I love you like red wine,
or a strong whiskey shot. 
I loved you when we kissed 
and I loved you when we fought. 

My dear, I think I love you,
more often than I do not!
