I love you, Not only for what you are, But for what I am When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.

Waiting
But why?
What were the reasons
You give me
the seasons you take
the spirit i have
the hands i burn
Without nothing in return

Anything other than yes is no

Anything other than yes is no

Anything other than yes is no, anything other than stay is go, anything less than i love you is lying.

You might live over

You might live over

You might live over, not forget to smile, have love and compassion by others. It's what differentiates us from animals’ irrationals.

I speak of love that comes to mind: The moon is faithful, although blind; She moves in thought she cannot speak. Perfect care has made her bleak.

True Love
Quem sou eu que não me encontro?
Me perdi no seu olhar,
e quando lembro do seu beijo logo bate o desejo de no seu colo repousar. Com você eu aprendi o sentido de amar!
