(Pull out this beauty next time the significant other pulls out the "why do you love me" card when you are least aware!)

by christopher brennan
If questioning would make us wise
no eyes would ever gaze in eyes;
if all our tale were told in speech
no mouths would wonder each to each
were spirits free from mortal mesh
and love not bound by hearts of flesh
no aching breasts would yearn to meet
and find their ecstasy complete.
for who is there that lives and knows
the secret powers by which he grows?
were all knowledge all, what were our need
to thrill and faint and sweetly bleed?
Then seek not, sweet, the "If" and "Why"
I love you now until I die.
For I must love because I live
And life in me is what you give.

(this is one of the best poems I have ever seen, although I am not known to peruse poetry nor would I consider myself a poetry connoisseur, but shit this is good. Also, I've always disliked it when a girl asks why you love her)
