To the Beloved (poem)

Love touches my life,
leaving behind tender moments
as bright in my heart
as the stars are in the sky.
Yet who deserves that love,
whose words comfort me?
It is you.

For you are the heart of my life -
your love touches me
to the depths of my heart
so much that we have
become dependent on each other.

I love you; and you, me.
Together our love conquers
all, leaving nothing to chance,
and without any conditions.
Indeed, love is a gift we share
with our friends and family.
