^*^I love thee..As I love the calm Of sweet..Star-lighted hours! I love thee..As I love the balm Of early jes'mine flow'rs^*^

^*^I love thee..As I love the last Rich smile of fading day..Which lingereth..Like the look we cast On rapture pass'd away^*^

^*^I love thee..As I love the tone Of some soft-breathing fluteWhose soul is wak'd for me alone..
When all beside is mute^*^

^*^I love thee..As I love the first Young violet of the spring..Or the pale lily..April-nurs'd..To scented blossoming^*^

^*^I love thee..As I love the full..Clear gushings of the song..Which lonely--sad--and beautiful--At night-fall floats along..^*^

^*^Pour'd by the bul-bul forth to greet..The hours of rest and dew;When melody and moonlight meet To blend their charm..And hue^*^

^*^I love thee..As the glad bird loves The freedom of its wing..On which delightedly it moves
In wildest wandering^*^

^*^I love thee..As I love the swell..And hush..Of some low strain..Which bringeth..By its gentle spell..The past to life again..Such is the feeling which from thee..Nought earthly can allure...^*^

^*^!Tis ever link'd to all I seeOf gifted--high--and pure!..^*^

^*^When memories cry..When memories fade and die^*^

^*^I'm going to grow old..My passion..My fiery passion..My flaming lust is going to grow cold^*^

^*^But my heart will always flow with a molten..Love lavaIn your name this lava flows through my veins^*^

^*^My heart beats for you..
My heart will never cease to beat your name^*^

^*^When I lose my charm and my glamour...
When I lose my physique..And my game^*^

^*^When I'm old and wrinkly..
When I cannot look myself in the mirror..
I'll still stare at you^*^

^*^When memories fade..When I forget the days of the week..And the months of the year..
When I mix names..And faces^*^

^*^The memory of you..Will always shine bright and clear..Your image Has been burnt to my memory..
I will never forget your smile^*^

^*^I will die happy..With the image of your sweet smile..On my mind..And love
On my lips and in my heart^*^

^*^The greatest lesson one can learn..
Is how when loved, to love in return^*^

^*^Joined together through night and day..
Equally yoked in work and play^*^

^*^Remaining true both body and soul..
Never loosing our common goal^*^

^*^Sharing each other the best we can..
Before we are but bits of sand^*^

^*^Mutual love is beyond compare
Serving one another in the life we share^*^

^*^Without compassion humans lose..
Simply by the path they choose^*^

^*^Love is a miracle from God to man..
How some deny it I can’t understand^*^

♥*♥..'Neath velvet cloth of night and shadows,
my heart confessed its thoughts to the wind.
I could feel your smile from a distance
with the touch of your closeness profound..♥*♥

♥*♥..The sun reached behind a fading sky,
so the moon could take its proper place.
Day to darkness, brightened by the stars,
leaving upon the blue waters
a shimmering portrait of your face..♥*♥

♥*♥..You, with all your savoring sweetness,
tenderly pierced the walls of my soul
as you wove a new tapestry with
the golden threads of your hope and love..♥*♥

♥*♥..Yesterday you offered me courage,
today you endowed me with your strength.
Every moment together, a gift.
Every day a celebration of life..♥*♥

♥*♥..How lovely the music of your heart.
You are the air I breathe, sound I hear
and the spirit that gently moves me.
I don't wish for the moon, I have the stars..♥*♥

^*^As water is to a flower, And honey is to a bee,
You are always there,
You are a part of me^*^

^*^As the wind blows, Through the distant land,
My love for you grows,
Never wanting to end^*^

^*^As the stars are to the night, And the grass is to the ground, You must definitely know,
My love is all around^*^

^*^And when there is no wind,No land, Night or sun,
I'll love you forever and always,
Even when my life here is done^*^

^*^And when my days are over, My life here on earth is through, I hope you'll forever know,
I'll still be in love with you^*^
