How Do I Love You

How do I love you I love you with emotion illusion desire and thought I love you with my eyes my heart my flesh my blood and soul I love you with my silence my pride my pain and joy I love you with my solitude my doubt my dream and all ability I ever hold I love you in yesterday today and tomorrow's tomorrow In all ever will be and all ever was I love you with the way I feel I feel with the way I kiss I kiss without my need to touch To touch to brush to know your lips to hear your breath upon my own I love you I love you with all that I am especially when all that I am aches for being without you when all that I am aches of being alone

I love how you explore the thresholds of your devotion, tolerance for self sacrafice, and for going into the depths of a love that sometimes cries in the shadows of fatigue and doubt, yet you still believe in the merit of the love you give, that you have earned even greater love and devotion in return Charma. There is real beauty in your aching honesty. Beautiful capacity for affection Charma...J.A.B.

Hi Charm! There are many adjectives that could so easily describe this beautiful expression of love. You express wishes, emotions, needs, satisfaction, loneliness and doubts. This is what love is all about...it's the ability to give and take, finding a stabilizing balance that keeps love alive. Very romantic. // paul
