i love life-
and yet i couldn't live
in a world without love

and you-
i will love you always
for you are more precious
to me than life itself

loving you comes easily
and leaving you
i m p o s s i b l e

yet should you ever fall out
of love with me please tell me-
but tell it to me gently

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Saying you are no longer in love with someone, no matter how "gentle" you try to say it, it hardly ever is accepted in the same manner. Then again, saying it is better than letting her find it out for herself.
