How do I Love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to 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 every day'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
I 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 with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

personal note:
My lecturer introduced us this poem and I immediately fell in love with the lines. The story behind Elizabeth wrote this poem was even way more beautiful as my lecturer had explained. Elizabeth dedicated it to her beloved husband, Robert Browning. Don't you think that this is the ideal explanations of love to someone? Maybe you can type on google to find out the analysis of the poem if you wish to reveal more. Poem talks more story than the lines^^
