They were two bound together As the honeysuckle binds To the hazel that it finds. When it’s caught and enlaced Around its branches traced, They can stick fast like glue, But if anyone parts the two, The hazel is quickly gone Honeysuckle then follows on. ‘Sweet love, so it is with us, too: No you without me, no me without you.’

Sigh!
They were two bound together
As the honeysuckle binds
To the hazel that it finds.
When it’s caught and enlaced
Around its branches traced,
They can stick fast like glue,
But if anyone parts the two,
The hazel is quickly gone
Honeysuckle then follows on.
‘Sweet love, so it is with us, too:
No you without me, no me without you.’

That is so beautiful, and I'm sure you know how much I love poetry.
A love that we share.
