![]() by~~Roy Croft 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 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 Could have done To make me happy. ![]() You have done it Without a touch, Without a word, Without a sign. ![]() You have done it by being yourself. Perhaps that is what Being a friend means, After all back to valentines
