Cannot Exist



I cannot exist without you. 
I am forgetful of everything but seeing you again. 
My life seems to stop there, I see no further. 
You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving.
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion... 
I have shudder'd at it... 
I shudder no more. 
I could be martyr'd for my religion: Love is my religion. 
I could die for that. I could die for you. 
My creed is love, and you are its only tenet. 
You have ravish'd me away by a power I cannot resist.
