Valentine's for Lovers and for Friends

Valentine's for lovers and for friends.

All my love goes out to you this day!

Love is something different from desire:

Even, silent, peaceful as the sky.

Nor is love interested in means or ends.

There are no selfish needs that it must weigh.

Instead, love's plenitude itself inspires,

Needing neither cause nor reason why.

Each day my thoughts enchanted with you lie.

with love Malinconia
