Number 14

The grief of you lives in my body in place of my soul; longing for you runs through the marrow of my bones. This has gone beyond love; if there is anything above love, that is what I feel for you.
Explanation: The image of longing in the marrow of the bones conveys how deeply the feeling has penetrated the poet's being.
