lover

Why do I love you?
May I measure the ways ...

Not for what you do for me,
Though it's more than I ask,
Not for what you make of me,
Though in you I am becoming,
Not for where you lead me,
Though the peaks and depths bring a gasp,
Not for what you can give,
Though your sacrifice gives me life.

Not because you are beautiful beyond measure,
Not because you are faultless and just,
For this is not something to grasped rationally.

No, I love you because you are mine,
And I am yours.
