爱 ------Roy C

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;

爱 ------Roy Croft

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.

爱 ------Roy Croft

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.

爱 ------Roy Croft

我爱你,不是因为你是一个怎样的人,而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉.没有人值得你流泪,值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣.失去某人,最糟糕的莫过于,他近在身旁,却犹如远在天边.纵然伤心,也不要悉眉不展,因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容.对于世界而言,你是一个人；但是对于某人,你是他的整个世界.不要为那些不愿在你身上花费时间的人而浪费你的时间.爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式爱你,那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你.不要着急,最好的总会在最不经意的时候出现.在遇到梦中人之前,上天也许会安排我们先遇到别人；在我们终于遇见心仪的人时,便应当心存感激.不要因为结束而哭泣,微笑吧,为你的曾经拥有.“生命是束纯净的火焰,我们依靠自己内心看不见的太阳而存在.” --------托马斯.布朗爵士 爱---罗伊·克里夫特
