not my poem,but my 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 of yourself
but for what
you are making me

I love you
for ignoring the possibilities
of the fool in me,
and for laying firm hold
of the possibilities for good.

Why do I love you?

I love you
for closing your eyes
to the discords -
and for adding to the music in me
by worshipful listening

I love you because you
are helping me to make
of the lumber of my life
not a tavern
but a temple;
and out of the words
of my every day
not a reproach
but a song.

I love you
because you have done
more than any creed
to make me happy

You have done it
without a word
without a touch
without a sign.
You have done it
just by being yourself

After all
perhaps that is what
Love means.

-Roy Croft
this poem may not be written by me,but in this period of intensifying mugging,which to me feels pretty good somehow (like i'm doing sth with my life that is related to A levels finally!),want to dedicate it to all the people i love out there,who have always been themselves with me,and needless to say have touched my heart with their sincerity,good-will (even when attached to nasty words),genuine giving-a-damn,encouragement,belief in me,and the list of 'showing how i love jonk' goes on.i don't like the thought of mentioning names because i will definitely miss out people,but here goes -
to Rachel Ho,Zwing,Robyn,Stepho,Swannie,Trinette,David,Esmond,Chook,a14,mr josef! & all my other subject tutors,my cell & fellowship comm,Joshua,Sam,Chin,Darien,Duane,GuyJonk,and of course my family.
the list definitely doesn't end here,
sorry for forgetting anyone at all!
but thank you for loving me anyway(:
