41. If Thou Must Love Me
Famous Poem
If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
I love her for her smile ... her look ... her way
Of speaking gently, ... for a trick of thought

If the beauty of love were like a rose, it would be something that I would not need.
The beauty of true love is that it is warmth, kindness and devotion, it is powerful for all the world to see.
If the beauty of love were like the sun, it would have warmth, but day turns to night.
I am moved by the beauty that one man might write about his love for his wife.

Crackling fires and glasses of wine
a walk on the beach forgetting the time
this is all nice and things we should do
but these aren't the things that make me love you
Oh my God! This poem was immaculate! How I cried with knowing her love was so deep in every line! You are truly a loved man!
Glory in the highest for he sent an angel to me,
with one look and one kiss my life changed instantly.
Years spent dreaming of my first true love,
Even if you are not near me
And distance keeps us apart,
Remember this, my dear -
You will remain in my heart
I have spent a lifetime loving you
the way you smile
the way you talk
the way you walk
Just a simple smile, a soft caress, a sweet kiss.
Just a step away, an arm's length, from unthinkable bliss.
Just a two word 'I do,' a ring on the finger, a honey moon.
Love is in our heart,
love is in our mind.
Love breaks down all barriers,
love is always blind.
Twelve red roses;
best when unsuspected
Eleven vows spoken;
Lovely romantic winning poem for the month of hearts,
Doug. Congratulations on your win.
You don't compare to others from before.
I've always wanted someone to just love me more.
No one has ever loved me like you have before.
Make yourself at home, my love
Please curl up in a chair
While away the hours, my love
Relax, be free of care
Big, pink fluffy hearts could not convey
what you mean to me this Valentine's Day.
A card with fancy words saying, "I love you so,"
could not capture my thoughts, but I think you know
You never say you love me
But your silence conveys a lot
Such is the beauty of your love
Time only means our love will grow.
May we dance to a tempo sure and slow.
Once we built fortresses of snow,
In the crowd where shadows play,
I wander through a world of gray,
But there, like sunlight breaking through,
My heart finds anchor--just for you.
Oh to have someone write a beautiful poem like that for me. It's lovely, truly lovely. Very best wishes, Ann.
