Oh! My Love

If I know what love is, it is because of you 

I fell in love with his courage, his sincerity, and his flaming self respect

And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if

The whole world indulged in wild suspicions 

That she wasn’t all she should be

I love his and it is the beginning of everything

I swear I couldn’t love you more than

I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day 

So I never have to live without you

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, 

Between the shadow and the soul

Thinking of you keeps me awake

Dreaming of you keeps me asleep

Being with you keeps me alive

Praying to God for you will give me strength

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can’t help falling in love with you

Grow old along with me; the best is yet to be
