"This is why I love, because you love me". Are you familiar with this line from MAJOR's song "Why I Love You"? I can't help smiling each time I listen to it. It reminds me that everyone needs reassurance from time to time. Even when we are absolutely sure that we're loved, we sometimes just need to hear the reasons why.

No two persons can have exactly the same reasons for loving someone. As such, the list of "reasons why I love you" that I've compiled will simply give you an idea of how to express yours as felt. But, I might as well just be expressing your thoughts just as you would love to.

Actions Over Words?

The saying that actions speak louder than voice has caused many to view words as overrated in love. The truth is actions matter as much as words do. Hence, you need to back up your words with actions just as you need to reinforce your actions with words.

So, it's important that you remind your loved one from time to time how much and why you love him or her.

Below are 50+ reasons why we love those we do.

Why I Love You - Your Person
