How Do I Love You

How do I love you, my gentle rays of sunshine? I love you like a summer day passes by so fine Like the brightness of light that is so divine With the sweetness of the smell of the fresh leaves of pine and a love so pure that only heaven can design The way I love you, my lovely valentine is bitter yet sweet like the taste of old wine Strong yet tender like a silver line Without lies and again without the thought of feigns Adoring you like the goddess in the shrine And yet, my dearest wonderful rhyme My heart knows that our lives will never be intertwined and your beauty has given me a sadness so define For I know that you will never be mine Just let me place this sorrow in me, like a parasitic love vine
