Love

                                [Poem]

                                 Love

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 yourself

But for what you are making of me.

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.
