How much do I love you?
I can not honestly say.
Nothing lasts forever, but,
I'll love you 'til my dying day.
And if there be a heaven, or a
Future life somewhere
Then, My Love, know this:
I'll find you and love you there
I would walk untold miles
To prove my love to you.
And I'll sign an oath in blood, My Love,
If you ask me to.
I know no way to measure
The depth or weight of my love.
I know its more than what's below
And twice that what's above.
I would die a hundred deaths
Just to spend a moment with you.
There's just no price too great
When your love is true.
How much do I love you?
How much do you love me?
Our love will last , My Love,
Three times Eternity.
Never did I think
Love could be so true
Then my luck changed
And Fate brought me you.
You fill me with joy
Your passion warms me
Forever in your arms
Is where I wish to be.
You give me courage
To let my heart feel
Thanks to you
I know love is real!
I close my eyes,
I feel your touch.
My heartbeat quickens...
I want you so much.
As I hold you close, I know,
You've captured me: heart, soul and mind.
We have a love many dream of
But so few ever find.
I taste your lips,
You fill me with fire.
My hand seeks yours,
You're my one desire.
You may think you know me,
But I am not who I was.
I was a void trapped in darkness.
No one knew me, not even myself.
Then suddenly, as the flash of a nova
Pushed back the black shades
I saw, I understood and I knew who I was.
I remembered and I mourned
The loss of that light.
And I mourned the crashing memories
Of hands that should have protected;
The ones that did the harm.
When the storm grew quiet
I began to seek the dark I'd known so well.
I stopped, realizing I feared it now.
It's nothingness no longer warm.
It's deceitful veil discarded.
So I waited not knowing what else to do.
Love came then; a beautiful maple leaf
Floating gently down to settle on my heart.
I always thought you'd be here,
As immortal as the earth.
I thought you'd be there,
For my children's birth.
I know life is uncertain
But this is particularly unfair.
Not knowing how much time
I have with you to share.
My hopes and dreams- -
Will they come true?
I'd trade them all if
It would save you.
If I could kill your cancer,
Take away your pain...
I must be strong for you,
This disease is our bane.
My faith fails me,
And it would be a lie
If I said I could handle
Having to say good-bye.
I don't want to let you go!
It's too early for us to part.
But I must not let anyone know
How this is affecting me.
So I'll laugh and joke,
And wear a smile.
I'll keep your spirits up.
But all the while
My soul is ravaged
by this pain in my heart.
I was lucky when you begat me.
All your attributes I finally see.
Your life spent on your children,
All of them, three.
No payment requested,
Your love flowed free.
For all this and more,
I thank thee.
