You Are My Heart, My Hope, My Help

 

You are my heart, my hope, my help,

The passion that is me,

The whole of which I am a part,

My peace, my ecstasy.

 

You are my future, present, past,

My ship, my sail, my ocean,

The wind that brings me home again,

The home for every motion.

 

You live within me, yet

I am

Without you all alone.

With you I am full of light;

Without you I am stone.

 

Is this foolish?

Yes, perhaps,

But also it is true.

I think of life as something

I Can spend with only you.

 

Ah, my love!

Love longs for such

Sweet celebrants as this!

Love is a burden and a joy,

Slavery and bliss.

 

This day of love come love with me,

Come sing with me my song.

Come be my Valentine,

and I Will love you my life long,

my love,

Will love you my life long
