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 to make me happy. 

You have done it 
Without a touch, 
Without a word, 
Without a sign. 
You have done it 
By being yourself.
