Note of Love

Yesterday I found this in my friend's note at Facebook. I think this is a beautiful note about love. Wish that everyone will be able to find this kind of love...

I love you
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what You are making of me.

I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;

I love you
For putting your hand Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can't help
Dimly seeing there,

And for drawing out Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find

I love you
Because you are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple.

Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.

I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good.
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.

You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.

You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all...
