How Do I Love Thee Poem by Marites C. Cayetano

How do I love thee...
I heard that from you
a million times.

How do I love thee...
yes my love
I believe
you love me so.

But my love,
you have to go
and find a job
because
you need to buy me
that long white dress
displayed
in the shop-window.

How do I love thee....
yes my love
I believe
you love me so.

But my love
you have to go
and find a job
you need to buy a house
for our future children
to play in its garden.

How do I love thee...
yes my love
I know
you love me so.

But my love,
that love
will become no meaning
if you can't bring me
to the altar
for our vows.
