Love

狗血公众号上看到一首诗，觉得意思蛮不错的，但是措辞怎么就不对劲。翻了一下，发现是首英文诗，常常在婚礼上被人朗诵。读完原文，马上觉得通透舒服了。译者太重要…… 
Love is about who you are, who I am, and who we can be. 
I need to walk away, as soon as you turned your back to me, when I was trying to be myself. You pushed me into abyss when I was at edge. 
And there is no turning back. 


LOVE
~ By Roy Croft ~

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 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. 

I love you 
Because you have done 
More than any creed 
Could have done 
To make me good, 
And more than any fate
To make me happy. 

You have done it 
Without a touch, 
Without a word, 
Without a sign. 
You have done it 
By being yourself.
