How Do I Love Thee

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."
                           by Elizabeth Barrett Browning 

~~*~~

I loved you from the very first glance,
from the first dance I was in a love trance;
when you spoke it was the sweetest depart.

I loved you then and it was for all my days;
and each day was a passionate romance.

I loved you from the great depths of my heart;
and I promised God we would never part.

I loved you 'cause you made me smile and laugh;
many words I wished for your forever epitaph.

I loved you with the love of an entwining maze,
I loved you and never regret taking a chance;
I loved-  and death will never break us apart,
I LOVE you, though two made one is now half.
