To Love

Very often we hear - I'd die for you!  That seems to be the only expression of passionate love for someone.  Why can't we live for someone we love?  From all practical viewpoints living is much harder!
I wanted to capture my ideas of expressing love in this poem.

Extract :

To love is—to live for,
Not, to die for.

To love is—to set free,
Not, to possess.

To love is—to expect more,
Not, to compromise.
