Poem | by Roy Croft

I found a paper today that had the
following poem on it by Roy Croft.

I thought it quite beautiful.

Perhaps you'll appreciate the
sentiment. I'd say it is a good
representation of what what a
healthy relationship provides
for oneself and his partner.

Apparently there is
a much longer version of the poem.

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;
I love you for passing over
All my foolish and weak traits
That you can't help but see.

I love you for drawing out
Into the light my beauty
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.

I love you.
