The power of Love

I started to love you before I was born.

I started to love you before I was born.

I loved you through all my happy childhood days,

when the sun was shining high on the sky and the grass was whispering their secrets to me.

I loved you when I was afraid of going to school,

when I was trying to escape the mental slavery, by gazing out

of the window and into the clouds...

I loved you when I fearfully cried myself to sleep at night -

I loved you through all the days I struggled in my self obsessed pain!

I loved you all the time I hated you.

I loved you when you cried, and I loved you when you laughed.

I loved you when we were together, and I loved you when we were apart.

I loved you all the way, all the time, with all of my being.

I loved you all the moments

I tried not to.

I loved you even in the moments I denied myself

to experience love.

I loved you when you loved me, and also, when you hated me.

I loved you when you loved yourself, and I loved you when you despited yourself -

I loved you through hell and I loved you through heaven.

Still I love you just as much as I ever did.

I love you today,

here and now,

in the exact same amount as yesterday,

and that is to say: endlessly.
