My Valentine


I cannot exist without you - I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again - my Life seems to stop there - I see no further.

You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving... I have been astonished that Men could die Martyrs for religion - I have shudder'd at it - I shudder no more - I could be martyr'd for my Religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that - I could die for you.

My creed is Love and you are its only tenet - You have ravish'd me away by a Power I cannot resist.
John Keats

And none will hear the postman's knock
Without a quickening of the heart.
For who can bear to feel himself forgotten?
