Why is he so special?

Is it the childlike chuckle full of joy and mischief
The empathy that is real and so rare
The way he loses himself in music with abandon
The way he pours his heart out without making much of it
The way he straddles that wall between the real world and the abstract
comfortably
His appreciation for language and the way he is effortlessly good at it
The ease with which he traverses all rungs of society
without losing his true self
His deep-rooted love for his lovely wife and fantastic kids
The way he makes me value myself
He is so easy to love but this is at its most beautiful now; anything more
would somehow detract its beauty.
Yet another relationship that defines me but is by itself undefined.
