Nothing lasts..

I love you
Not only for what you are,
But for what I’m,
When I’m with you..

I love you
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me..

I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out.

I love you
for looking deep
Into my heart
And forgetting all the ugly things
That are hidden there..

And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no else had looked
Quite far enough to find.

I love you,
Because you are helping me
To make out of the works of my every day,
Not a heavy duty, but a song!

I love you,
Because you have done more,
Than any God
Could have done,
To make me good..

And more,
Than any earthly possessions
Could have done
To make me happy..

I thank you
For having made
Our relationship not slavery,
But a unison, In freedom..

You have done it
Without a word, without a gesture.
You have done it,
By being yourself..

Perhaps,
That is what love means,
AFTER ALL…

Nothing lasts…
