Love is what I feel                 Let those                         Love is

          for                                    always  ­                          story
    definition                   ­            loved                                 yet,
would make it                            now                                ­ it is
       less.                                       love                             ever new.
                                               the more.

Time is too slow for those                                            Love            ­    
who wait. too swift for those                                    spends                  ­  
who fear, too long for those                                          all            
who grieve, too short for those                                and still        
who rejoice, but for those                                           hath                
who love, time is not.                                                 store.       Jon York
