How do I know that I truly love you?

I cannot hear a song but that it tells me of you.

I cannot see a wonderous thing but that you do appear to me.

I cannot feel a yearning but that you are not the answer.

I cannot taste a sweet fruit but that you are not it's sweetness.

I cannot touch the secrets of life but that you do not reveal them to me.

I cannot have a thought but that you are not it's inspiration.

I cannot love but that you are love itself.

I cannot be whole but that you are not my greater self.

I cannot want but that you are the sum of my needs.

I cannot be man but that you are my woman.

I cannot speak but that I sing my praises of you.

I cannot live but that you are my life.

I could not die but that you would be my eternity.

That is how I know.

I do love thee so ..........Adam
