True, Unconditional, Pure Love

I enjoyed all of the Elizabeth Browing sonnets. However, there is one that sticks out and brings forth emotion much more than the others. This is Sonnet 43. This is a sonnet of pure and true love that is boundless and truly has no limits. I am currently engaged and when I read this sonnet it felt as if it were possible to put into words how I feel for my fiance then this would be it. "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." This is a perfect description of what an individual truly feels for someone that they love beyond love. This is how you feel only about someone that you could never ever live without. You can't even begin to count the reasons on why you love them because the reasons are endless, boundless, and unlimited in that new reasons arise every second of everyday. "I love thee with the breath,/Smiles, tears, of all my life!" When she says this, it means that she loves Robert with every single piece of her heart and soul and everything that she possesses. I know that this is a perfect description of how it feels to completely surrender every part of yourself to the one that you love. You give every single part of your being to this person and never expect anything in return. That is the feeling of pure, unconditional love. The strong and ever-growing emotion in this poem reminds me of how I feel every single day now. I wonder how I ever lived my life without my fiance by my side. When you truly find your one true love and soulmate, the world turns from a horrid, scary place into a perfect Heaven on earth. Because, with the power of this love and the person that has given it to you, anything becomes possible. Your life is endowed with a whole new meaning and you find your true reason for living, and everything that you have ever wanted comes rushing into your life and turns it to a pure Eden. This is what I got from this poem, and I am actually thrilled that I got to read such a happy and exciting piece.
