LOVE

    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
But 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.

我爱你，不是因为你是谁.

而是因为你在我身边的时候，我是谁。

我爱你，不仅因为你为我而做的事.

而是因为为了你，我能做的事。

我爱你，因为你，唤醒了我内心最深处的纯真。

我爱你，因为当你的手轻轻抚过我伤痕累累的心.

我的愚钝，我的软弱，你都可以视而不见。

我爱你，因为只有你的光芒，能穿透到我的内心.

所有的美好，除了你，从没有人找到过。

我爱你，因为有你，

从此，我的生命，我生命里的每一天，都不再荒芜。

我爱你，因为你是我的信仰，你是我的神.

耕种于我的心田，那里，日光照耀，花开如树。

我爱你，因为这些，只有你做到了.

不需要触碰，不需要言语，甚至连一个手势都不需要。

我爱你，因为只有你，只是你，也只能是你，才能做到。

我爱你。
