It's February already...no wonder the love bug has been affecting everyone...

Almost everyone I know is either love-struck,in love and/or hurting from love.
Love love love..what do we do without it...
But you know what..it's the absence that makes the heart fonder.

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 candle-light.
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 withbreadth, smiles, tears, of all my life! - and
If God choose,I shall but love thee better after death.

-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
