Sonnet 18

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare you to a summer's day?
You are more lovely and more moderate:
Harsh winds disturb the delicate buds of May,
and summer doesn’t last long enough.
Sometimes the sun is too hot,
and its golden face is often dimmed by clouds.
All beautiful things eventually become less beautiful,
either by the experiences of life or by the passing of time.
But your eternal beauty won’t fade,
nor lose any of its quality.
And you will never die,
as you will live on in my enduring poetry.
As long as there are people still alive to read poems,
this sonnet will live, and you will live in it.

*missing you already*...
