*ILYSM* - a poem
*ILYSM*
My best friend
The mate of my soul
You’ve far surpassed the vastness of the Sky
You’re truer than the Ocean
You’re richer, more lush,
More refreshing than the Forest
There’s the Moon
Who does not compare to you
For you are more beautiful
You are more constant
And your light is gentler, yet
More powerful
You’re as tender and caressing as a breeze
But softer than the wind
And more encompassing, and you love me
You love me
You love me more than the wildest passion
More than the most soothing touch
You love me more than you can say
And more than I can comprehend
There will never be a day when I know
How much you love me
And I will never begin to show
How important you are to me
And I can only try
To prove how much I love you
And I can’t even guess
How much this love will change
Next year
And the year after.
And after a thousand years,
I think I will love you too much.
I know I will never be able to express
To my satisfaction
How much I love you.
