POEM BY ELIZABETH BARRET

If you are wondering what to say to your girlfriend or boyfriend on Valentines day, i think i have an answer to that. i was searching for Quotes by Shakespears  so i saw this piece instead, i think its cool so i'm sharing this.

                                                     HOW DO I LOVE THEE?
                                      By Elizabeth Barret Borrowing
                                          

 How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. 
  I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
