My True Love Hath My Heart, And I Have His

My truelove hath my heart, and I have his,

by just exchange, one for the other giv'n.

I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss;

there never was a better bargain driv'n.

His heart in me keeps me and him in one,

My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides;

He loves my heart, for once it was his own;

I cherish his, because in me it bides.

His heart his wound received from my sight:

My heart was wounded with his wounded heart;

For as from me, on him his hurt did light,

So still me thought in me his hurt did smart:

Both equal hurt, in this change sought our bliss:

My true love hath my heart and I have his. 

-- Sir Philip Sidney

My Heart Believes In You

I kept my head up high,

and then you came my way.

I have been hurt so many times.

My heart filled with so much pain.

but now that pain has gone away.

For I have found a place I want to be.

This place I see is with thee.

For in your arms I have felt and seen,

a wonderful feeling that I cannot believe.

A safe haven in your arms just for me.

Now I give my heart to thee.

For my heart believes in you.

-- Stewart Bradshaw

My True Love Hath My Heart

My true Love hath my heart, and I have his,

By just exhange one for the other given:

I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss;

There never was a better bargain driven.

His heart in me keeps me and him in one,

My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides:

He loves my heart, for once it was his own;

I cherish his because in me it bides.

His heart his wound received from my sight,

My heart was wounded with his wounded heart;

For as from me, on him his hurt did light,

So still methought in me his hurt did smart.

Both, equal hurt, in this change sought our bliss:

My true Love hath my heart, and I have his.

-- Sir Philip Sidney

More Than Friends

People always say that friendships should be treasured.

But I want something more with her.

My love for her could never be measured.

I only wish she could see how I feel.

So I wonder, what can I do?

Can I just be friends with her?

Or can I say to her, "I'm falling for you,"

And lose her friendship forever?

So is there any hope here or I should let my love for her end?

No matter how it all turns out, I'll always be her friend.

--Matt Whitaker 

Meeting At Night

"...…Then a mile warm sea-scented beach;

Three fields to cross till a farm appears;

A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch

And blue spurt of a lighted match, and a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears,

Than the two hearts beating each to each."

-- Robert Browning

Music, when soft

"Music, when soft voices die,

Vibrates in the memory-

Odours, when sweet violets sicken, 

Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, 

Are heap'd for the beloved's bed;

And so thy thoughts when thou are gone,

Love itself shall slumber on. …."

-- P B Shelley

My Sweetheart

You are my sweetheart 

I  could tell you from the start

You made me realise

We never be apart

The things you do

To make me smile

I love being wit you

You make life worthwhile

My sweetheart you are 

My sweetheart you will stay

I now see our love

Is not a game to play

I'm glad we're together

And not only friends

You're MY SWEETHEART

From beginning to end.
