Tomorrow is "lovebirds" day. Well, a very commercialised lovebirds day! We don't quite believe in spending too much on a valentine menu and waiting for hours before we get served at dinner. We've experienced it some years back at Le Bouchon French Restaurant and that was our last time going for a commercialised valentine dinner.
Anyway, this post isn't about what we're doing for Valentine's...I got distracted!

I just want to share one of my favourite poems like I did 2 years ago here.
This one is by the famous Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
This one is by the famous Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Happy Valentine's Day!
