How in Love Am I with Thee?
When trying to explain my love for you,
words do not seem appropriate ...
yet words seem to be the only way
I am able to make you see
that of intimate love I know too few
to conduct it in an honest way;
of candlelight romance I have little experience
and therefore need time to perfect it;
only innocent love is familiar to me
and I long to announce it to you
I love your thoughts, I love your soul,
I love your kisses, I love you as whole.
I love your lips and I love your eyes
that remind me of rays of suns that rise.
I love your voice, I love your touch -
never have I loved a girl so much!
Therefore I ask you to please comprehend
that should you not love me ...
it would mean my end.
