LIVING FOR YOU

O my beloved:

I don't find anything more interesting in this world

Than living, to love you, as long as I can.

It's your love and the hope of being with you

Someday

That keeps me going on...

For, before you, there was nothing

This world ever had to offer me

Save worries, griefs, heartaches and sighs

Kept controlled by tears

Sometimes shed and often bottled up deep within

My stabbed and wounded heart.

O my beloved:

You are quite rare

And beyond compare

Than any woman I have ever known.

So feel not that I am sustaining my breath

For anything or anybody else

Than to be with you and love you truly.



For you I am what I am

For your love I do lay my claim

What else is there to gain

In this world and those who mess with it?

Fie on those who lust for it!

Unlike them I prefer

To live for you and love you

And you alone --

Making you proud

As my lady beloved.

And this too I dare say:

I would be the happiest man alive

If I succeed in

Making you feel as the most loved woman

That ever was in this populated planet

Of Adam and Eve.

And prouder shall I be

If I carry on living and loving doing just this

Without making you feel less important

Or less loved at any moment in time

Ever, forever.
