Does the Distance keep the Hearts fonder??

"To My Dear and Loving Husband"
Anne Bradstreet (1678)

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold, i pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persevere
That when we live no more, we may live ever...

Hi Bira, i just read your comment in my blog, i laughed a lot, actually i didn't expect any jamia student will read that. Ya it's about him, the message i want to deliver is 'do not judge a book by its cover', at first some say negative things bout him, but in fact he is very nice boy and has soft heart, i like him. Hey, why dont we exchange link? I'll put your link in mine and you do the same to mine :) Take care
