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. ____________________________ November 2, 2019 Poetry/Rhyme/How Do I Love Thee Copyright Protected, ID 19-1217-805-02 All Rights Reserved.
