Shadowed Heart (Italian Sonnet)

I've fallen in love with you every day, 
with each beginning feeling like fresh air,
the warmth of your sweet kiss still holds me there
it does not diminish in any way.
In depths of winter when the world is grey
your smile reminds my heart to say I care
while touching places no others would dare
and loving you is where I want to stay.
And in moments I wander to times past
I often find my thoughts are thinking you
to when we were first lovers lifetimes ago
a magic spell that is forever cast
until all that remains, are just we two
your love, my heart's desiring shadowed glow.

I really enjoyed reading your sonnet. It motivated me to research and try this particular style of sonnet myself.
