adulate

Just because I think you're swell...
and I like the way you smell -
your eyes are pools I want to swim in,
the color of soft, much worn denim-

Just because you make me smile
and I think you've got great style,
you're silly and smart in equal measure
and your kindness is a treasure -

Just because your wit and charm
can easily my fears disarm,
you pun and chuckle in clever metaphor
and knowing you I'm the better for -

Just because I think this stuff
and there are not words enough
to say it all in perfect detail
with shoddy rhyme I'll try to prevail -

Just because I think you're great
doesn't mean I adulate.
