Day 19: what day is today?

When I am dead, my dearest, 
Sing no sad songs for me; 
Plant thou no roses at my head, 
Nor shady cypress tree: 
Be the green grass above me 
With showers and dewdrops wet; 
And if thou wilt, remember, 
And if thou wilt, forget. 

I shall not see the shadows, 
I shall not feel the rain; 
I shall not hear the nightingale 
Sing on, as if in pain: 
And dreaming through the twilight 
That doth not rise nor set, 
Happily I may remember, 
And happily may forget.

It would be awesome if I could say I wrote that, but it's by Christina Rossetti during the Victorian era. I had to read it for class and  I absolutely love it. 

"Be the green grass above me with showers and dewdrops wet." 

I love that verse! It is just seems awesome to me for some reason. I guess it's kinda morbid, but i can relate to that a love like that. It's like a want to be near another and wanting to make them to be happy and to find happiness myself. You are my strength, the rock I stand on. You are my shelter when I can't stand the storm. When I find myself in doubt I look for you to help me out. I hope you know how much I hope for and believe in you. I can't picture life without you. I love you more then anything I could say. So I guess it makes me feel how I would feel to ever lose you. And it makes me fear it I love you the more for all you do. And really you do a lot, probably even more then I give you credit for. I forget so much to love you for who you are and sometimes I'm a terrible listener or I don't give you the attention you deserve. You are doing a wonderful job and make me so happy. I just want to make sure that in the midst of this crazy life around us you know how much I really love you.
