Why do I love you
I love you not only for what you are
But what I am when I'm with you
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself
But darling for what you are making of me
I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me
And laying firm hold of the possibilities of the good in me

Love is everywhere
Love is in the air

Why do I love you
I love you for ignoring the dischords in me
And for adding to the music in me
By worshipful listening

I love you
Because you are helping me to make of the number of my life
Not a tavern
Not a temple
And of the root of my every day
Not a reproach but a somg

I love you
Because you have done more than any created
To make me happy
You have done it
Wiithout a word
Without a touch
Without a sign
Darling you have done it
By trusting me yourself
Perhaps after all that's what love means
