I cannot exist without you I am forgetful of every thing
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.
~ John Keats
