How do I
love thee, for all thy ways have yet all to be counted. Know me, understand me,
for thou I’ve tried. My love for thee hath not merely one way to be counted,
but many a thousand and even still a thousand more. For I am countless to the multitude
of treasures my love hath offer thee. For all the many ways thou giveth love to
me, I love thee.
My days are
yet to be short and my nights are yet to be calm without you by my side. All my
dreams and my thoughts of thee make my weeks hath past and my week's hath come
filled with both joy and sadness. So very often I hear ye sweet voice and thou
tender words calling me close. My mouth opens to call out to thee only to close
again, for the words I hear aren’t those of thy love but those of an
imagination. Why must it be our love that stands alone separate from the other?
Why must we be apart? So many obstacles, so many challenges to endure for our
love, it seems endless. Was it not fate that brought us together? Yet daily we
suffer.
When I
think of thee, my heart longs not to be far and my soul deepens with sorrow. I
remind myself of all the love I feel for thee and heavy thoughts surround my
entire being. Tender pains fill my chest at the image of us never becoming one
with the other. I hope and pray that you, my gentle lover, feel not the pain
for which I feel.
For thou
may never comprehend all the love thine heart feels inside for thee, for it
seems in thy heart alone can all this be believed. Please my love, have faith.
If ever I
tell thee lies I want never to speak thine words again. For it was thy lies
that caused thee to trust thy words none. For I would always speak with guilt.
For that I want not to speak at all. Our bind I will never release, for our
trust I will treasure always.
Should thy
eyes stray to another, might thine eyes from which I see thee be deprived. I
wish never to again view. Blind me to the world in which I must live. For I
would have forfeited the love of thee and therefore thine sight of thee. Blindness
need be my destiny, for I wish never to again see if the one who holds my heart
and my soul I can not behold. You are everything that is beautiful and pure and
I cherish thee.
Should thy
lips ever touch another may poison be the kiss. For death of venom is far
superior than to never again feel thy lovers' lips against thine. Undeserving
of thee I can not become. I belong to thee.
Should thy
body wanton another may it be laid on a bed of nails. For to accept all the
pain for my penalty tis far greater an accomplishment than to corrupt the love
of thee. For why would I cause agony to thy soul that honors thee? Never to be
free of a guiltless mind would I be inviting another to entice thy person. All thy
essence for which I preserve is only for thy King. For pure and exquisite I
would not be and for this I alone would die, never to touch thy love again.
Before thee
thy lungs had yet to take a breath. I merely existed searching for thee, only
to live when I found thee. Only then, such as that of a new born child, did I
take my first breath of life. For now and always thine love we must steadily
breathe as one. If for once thee take in ye breath alone, our bind be broken, and
unison we would no longer be. Should I take merely one breath minus thee I hath
taken thy last breath. Never shall I breath again.
Never may
the day arrive thy love and I a sunder, for then thy spirit shall surely die
and I shortly after. For I won’t want nor need food to eat, something to drink,
nor shelter to sleep. For it be a far greater thing to end it all than to ail
the anguish and torment of thine lost love forever.
