How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways
My heart you can reach
Even if we are far
Like two ends of a rope.
I can feel
when you shake the rope
I love you with a burning passion
Like the flame you light in me
Lighting my path with you behind
But the flame is also a comfort
like the setting sun’s delight
I love you with the same love I thought
has been stripped of me.
Because of you I know I will be fine
because my love has been found
and I won’t lose it again
I love you with all my breath,
all my smiles, laughs and tears
Even when God says “it's time”
My love will still be with you
