How Do I Love Thee Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. Maybe i had forgotten how to tell u, maybe i have never know how to. but everytime i look at u, i know that is something you should know. i wonder if u feel it. i hate myself for not letting my true feelings known. i dare not tell u how much i love u, how much i hope for you. all because of the insecurity dwell within me. i know you deserve more. i love you... i really do.. |
