Do I love thee?

Are there countless stars,
Like ways in which I love?
Are there countless dreams,
In which to dream of?

The question asked
One too many times
For an answer
Found within our minds

Given the choice between
Thee, and the ever changing sky
How could I choose thus,
Where thoughts of you reside?

How can you quantify love?
And how can you compare?
Love seems different from points of view
Between those that love is shared

Do I love thee?

Not as pure as a woman loves a man;
Yet, with all that I am

Nice, nice.  You should check out my poem, same topic and theory.  Well stated, good content.  Intriguing, enigmatic theory.

All of it is beautiful, but this stanza spoke loudest.  

Thank you for this.
