Can't be Explained

He asks me why I love him.
My reason why couldn’t be explained.
[Even if I tried]

Could it be because of the way he treats me?
[It’s something more]
Or because he lets me be me?
[No it’s more than that]

Because he loves me?

[It could be, but it's more]
And this list could go on…

Of all the reasons why
I couldn’t tell him one…
[Love can’t be explained]
