To him alone she has given this love, 
ever pure, 
incandescent, 
capable of illuminating 
all the doubts that once tormented her.
~*~
I must be near you, an addiction as I understand addiction to be, 
a craving for something without which life becomes not only drudge but torture.
~*~
How would I define this love – 
what one woman feels for a man so intensely, 
to be without him is 
to suffer if not to die?
~*~
To love is 
to express in God’s terms 
the ultimate reason of man, 
the core of his existence.  
Isn’t this how love should be defined?
