Dearest Rosie

I love you so much. Happy Valentines Day!

I loved you first: but afterward your love

Outsoaring mine sang such a loftier song

As drowned the friendly cooings of my dove.

Which owes the other most? my love was long,

And yours one moment seemed to wax more strong;


I loved and guessed at you, you construed me

And loved me for what might or might not be –

Nay, weights, and measures do us both a wrong.

For verily love knows not 'mine' or 'thine;'

With separate, 'I' and 'thou' free love has done,

For one is both and both are one in love:

Rich love knows naught of 'thine that is not mine;'

Both have the strength and both the length thereof,

Both of us, of the love which makes us one.

Be safe, For I would die if you didn't.
