Oh, sweet darling...
You are, to me,
What air is
To my lungs
And what nectar is
To a hummingbird.
The spark to rekindle
A moribund flame.
Season after season,
You shall remain the sun
In my bright summer day.
You needn't tell me
How much
You love me,
Because I see it
So clearly in your eyes.
I feel your deep love
Flowing through my veins.
And I love you
Just as much
In return, dear.
The ways
That I love you
Far outnumber...
All the fishes in the sea,
All the flowers
That bloom in spring,
And the incalculable grains
Of sand on the beach!
Most of all, it goes...
Without saying,
I love you
The way
You love me...
To the moon
And back!
