How Much Do I Love You
How much do I love you?
Is there a limit to my loving you or to loving at all?
My love for you does not need an invitation
It is spontaneous like glamorous laughter
It is not seduction or addiction
It is not out of sympathy or empathy
It is my heart yearning to become one with yours—
One that cannot cease to be or deceive you
The first time we met, the first looks we exchanged
The first words we whispered, the many moments we spent
If I were to choose between a hundred moons and you
My choice would be you
I know the winter means a lot more than white
Your smiles far outshine the intensity of its glow
A waterfall is an example of crystal clearness—
Your heart is an epitome of purity more lovable
Nature softens its hue from your dreams
How much I fall for you only if words can mention
I would fill pages and pages beyond any count
More than the innumerable raindrops in an outpouring
More than the numerous dew drops in a dawn welcoming
With you I have known the bright side of desire
More than sunrise’s gold and sunset’s red
It comes from within as if saying ‘come in’
With you love beckons us to be man and wife
With tender kisses beauty infatuates
An innocent brow of love--all of this creates a new world
Where I and YOU unite for now and forever
