I love you not just because you exist,

I love you because you are the living fire and

I am just a dry wood helplessly drawn to your light that burns.
I love you not just because you are bigger than the sea.
I love you because you are the most beautiful and I am just an image of you.
I love you not just because the world proclaims your feats.
I love you because you are the rain that waters my fertile soil and make my flowers bloom.
I love you because I need you to live,
I love you because I need you to breath,
I love you because I am a sinful soul and you alone are my salvation.
