What is this Love I have for you?
_________________________________
Love is the Tenderness in your loving words and touch.
Love is not needing the last word in an argument.
Love is looking at your own faults instead of others.
Love is Sacrificing instead of demanding.
Love is Being There for me during the bad times too.
Love is Caring when the other is sick.
Love is being Faithful to our Union.
Love is the Honesty and Respect you show me.
Love is Giving instead of taking.
Love is making me Laugh when I'm depressed.
Love is giving me Comfort when I'm sad.
Love is Sharing those Important decisions.
Love is Forgiveness when I need it.
Love is being Committed to our relationship.
Love is Accepting me as I am instead of trying to change me.
Love is holding me and crying with me.
So why do I love you so?
I love you, not only for what you are,
But for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself,
But for what you have made of me.
I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me
And for laying firm hold of the possibilities for good.
I love you because you are helping me
To make out of the lumber of my life,
Not a simple tavern, but a glorious Castle;
And out of the words of mouth
Not a reproach, but a joyous song.
I love you because you have done
more than any creed,
to make me happy.
You have done it
Without a word,
Without a touch,
Without a sign.
You have done it,
Just by being Yourself.
After all, perhaps that is what Love means.
Your Sensuous Knight,
Kevin A.
