word of the day

adore:
1. to regard with the utmost, esteem, love and respect; honor.
2. to pay divine honor to; worship.
3. to like or admire very much.

i use it loosely but after looking at the definition, i'm not doing the word enough justice.  if i had to define it, i would say the following...

it's liking you when you're not very likable.  all encompassing. makes me want to take care of you, even though i know you're capable of taking care of yourself.  it's a sincere joy from your presence alone.

when i adore someone, i'm drawn to them, specifically. and in a world where there a millions of great people, adoration feels like fingerprints.  it is unique to you and only you.

je t'adore.
