Like No Other Lover

I loved you as the stars love night,
A silent glow, beyond your sight.
In shadows soft, my heart took flight,
And whispered vows in secret light.

I loved you through the seasons’ sweep,
Through summer’s blaze and winter’s sleep.
In every blossom, deep and sweet,
I felt your presence, soft and steep.

I loved you like the rain loves earth,
With quiet hope and gentle worth.
Each drop a kiss, a soft rebirth,
As dreams of you grew in their mirth.

And though my love may fade away,
A ghostly ember, pale and gray—
Forevermore, come what may,
You were my dawn, my night, my day.
