Sometimes this is all you desire...

If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
'I love her for her smile - her look - her way
Of speaking gently, - for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'-
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
Be changed, or change for thee, - and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,-
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity.

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

On a less serious note, I'm finally wearing a skirt I that bought in December! I love donning new clothes. Too bad I went to Ralph's this morning and set off the alarm - TWICE! DAMMIT WHERE'S THE CENSOR ON THIS THING!!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
