I like.....so many things.

I love it when you gently brush the hair away from eyes, off my forehead.
I like the way you hold my hand, hesitant at first and in a tight grip later. It tells me that you don't want to let go of me. Anytime soon.
I like the way you wipe the ice cream spot away from my lips. I know you want to kiss me as well :)
I like the way you look into my eyes. We can almost hold a conversation in the process.
I like the way how my defences crumble with you; when I am not myself, the strong, resolute girl but actually a princess who simply wants to be pampered.
I like the little things you do for me. Like, sending a one-liner mail in the middle of a busy, working day. Or say a nursery rhyme. Or just tell me that you remember me. It makes me smile :)
I like it when you remember our little nicknames, which are very special and close to my heart. Pigs, snakes, animals, bears --- they could be anything!
I love the way you look out for me --- making me walk on the inside of a busy road, watching over your shoulder so that no one can harm me, holding my hand carefully when we cross the road at a signal, chiding me gently. Sometimes I behave like a little child intentionally so that you can scold me further, in that soothing voice of yours. And sometimes, I deliberately behave like I cannot cross the road without your help, only to make you feel like my knight in shining armour :)
