Happy Valentine's Day to my beautiful wife, Charong! This passage from Pablo Neruda's exquisite Sonnet XVII expresses my love far more perfectly than I can:


"I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving
 but this, in which there is no I or you, 
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.
"
