Why do I love you?
Location
I love you
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am,
When I'm with you.
I love you,
Not for what you made of yourself,
But for what...
You are making of me.
I love you,
For ignoring the possibilities,
Of the fool in me,
And for laying firm hold.
I love you because you are helping me to make,
Of the foundation of my life..
Not a tavern but a temple; And out of the words,
Of my everyday not a reproach but a song.
