This is a rendition of Elizabeth Browning's Sonnet 43 I wrote whilst sitting in the rain.
How can I love you? Let me count the ways,

I can love you from a distance, whether or not in direct sight,

Love you from memories of you for hours, even days,

A love that can extend from the rising sun until the fall of night.



I love you with a passion of which I do not understand,

As I love you but dare not go near,

For though I love you, a reciprocation I could not demand,

I console myself with delusions that you are here.



The love I hold for you will eternally resonate among us,

Even though I have no reason of why,

I fear that our meetings will never be close and thus,

I anticipate joining your heart in the sky.



My anonymous darling, though I speak not of your name,

The cosmos will forever hail you in my heart.
