Despite its teasing title, the poem is a long list of small things the speaker loves doing for his partner. Some are tender and romantic, like gazing into her eyes, kissing her, and falling asleep in her arms. Others are plainly everyday: washing dishes, doing laundry, running errands, looking after the kids and dogs. By putting them side by side, the speaker suggests that love lives as much in routine chores as in grand gestures.
The speaker feels devoted and content. Nothing he asks for is dramatic, and the closing lines make that clear: he wants to make her laugh, smile, and be happy, and "that's all." The short, repeated lines, many beginning with "To," give the poem a steady, almost breathless rhythm, like someone counting blessings. The mood is warm, sincere, and comfortable. The title hints that this shared, ordinary closeness matters more than physical intimacy alone, though the poem never says so outright.
