How do I love thee by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) 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.

Love is an amazing thing. But why do you compare "love" with "lose" ? Did you have any unhappy experience ? If not, I don't think you would have such a negative opinion. Come on, boy~ We ought to belive "love" ! Each of us has the right to love others, and also has the right to be loved. Thus, we should "love", we must "love". Love has an extensive meaning. Not only can we "love" our lovers, but also we can "love" our friends and family.

Nowadays, so many people take love as a game or something to kill time, that's quite a disappointing phenomenon. In my opinion, it's a negative cycle. Someone hurt you, and then you pass the same or heavier pain to another. After him or her was hurt by you, they refused to believe "love" any more, so the cycle started. Not a smart choice.

Yes ,I can't agree more with you. When we say "I love you" to others, we must have the awareness of being respectfull and responsible. One thing is for sure, LOVE is not a game or something to kill time, It's a duty.

I need love ……but i don't love ……

I appreciate your word “duty”, good girl, you can always understand me. That’s why we are called girl, a gender with sensitive feeling and breakable heart.

Why?? Come on~ Everything will be fine.

Love is too complex for me to control I would always be the servant of the love

Servant ? oh no ! To be the servant of love is insensible.

I will never touch the true love .It seems so far away from me ...

Not everyone knows where his or her true love is, neither do I. Though I have a boy friend now, I'm not sure whether he is my true love. To be honest, I really don't know what "true love" means. My belief is that girl should find a boy who loves her, not a boy who she loves, for I'm afraid to be hurted. But I like my boy friend, maybe not love. I don't know what love is exactly means.
