My love

This day has always passed me by like the wind pass by the willows; unnoticed! I believe that it is time to put in words some of the emotions I experience when near you or when thinking of you. Love can be a tricky partner, especially when it has been ignored for some time.

If love be chaste, if virtue conquer ill,

If fortune bind bot lovers in one bond,

If either at the other’s grief despond,

If both be governed by one life, one will;

If in two bodies one soul triumph still,

Raising the twain from earth to heaven beyond,

If Love with one low and one golden wand

Have power both smitten breasts to pierce and thrill;

If each the other love, himself foregoing,

With such delight, such savor, and so well,

That both to one sole end their wills combine;

If thousands of these thoughts, all thought outgoing,
