a quiet kind of love

i love you with a quiet kind of love. a kind of love that is conveyed between whispers of lovers' breath, in the invisible space between the petal touch of lovers' skin, in the still moment between lovers' gaze. this love has none of the fury of fire, but all its warmth and light. this love has none of the rage of water but all its power and life. this love shakes not the earth and breaks no ground but its foundation will never shake and its stand will never move. this love is a string which binds our lives intricately. hold on to this love and it will be a ring, making our lives complete. i have nothing to give but this love. i cannot promise all the days of our lives to be free of strife and pain, but i promise i'll take every blow and bear every pain to shield you from what may come. i cannot promise you days of plenty, but you will never be cold, lonely or hungry because i'll be there for you. i am not perfect but i want to be. you make me want to be a better man. I give you this love, a quiet kind of love only you and I would understand.
