Sonnet 1: Love’s Purest Form

If you must love me, love me for love's sake,

Not for my voice or smile that lights the room,

Nor for the beauty that makes hearts awake,

But for the soul that braves both light and gloom.

Your kindness shimmers, patience leads the way,

Your heart, a steadfast beacon in the night,

And though the years may take our youth away,

Your spirit’s song remains my guiding light.

Time’s hand may wither what the eye can see,

But you, my dokkaebi, stand unchanged—

For in your heart, your love stays wild and free,

A melody no passing time estranged.

If you choose me, let love’s reasons be true,

For I see only Yongsun shining through.

Sonnet 2: Beyond the Surface

Not for the fame that gilds your name so bright,

Nor for the cheers that greet your every word,

Do I adore you, elf maiden of light,

But for your heart that’s gentle and unstirred.

Your patience paints the stars across the sky,

Your kindness, like the moon, pulls tides to shore,

These are the reasons why I can’t deny

That loving you grows deeper evermore.

Your voice may fade, and we may lose our way,

But who you are remains a constant tune—

A symphony that time cannot decay,

A sun that burns through darkest afternoon.

Love me as I love you, without a cause,

For what we are is truer than applause.

Sonnet 3: Eternal Flame

For beauty fades, and voices lose their song,

And time will etch its lines upon our face,

But in your heart, where courage stands so strong,

No passing years can ever leave a trace.

Your perseverance, like a steady flame,

Reminds me of a sun that never dies;

Through every storm, you’ve always stayed the same,

A beacon bright against the darkened skies.

I do not love you for the world’s acclaim,

But for the soul that dances in your eyes—

A love that’s more than just a fleeting game,

A promise kept beneath eternal skies.

Love me, my Yongsun, not for what you do,

But for the light that shines in all you pursue.

Sonnet 4: A Song Across Time

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

Your kindness, how it lingers in the air,

A song that echoes softly through the years;

No matter how the world might strip us bare,

Your love endures, a balm for all our fears.

And if we age and find our voices frail,

Our steps unsteady, eyes no longer bright,

I’ll hold you close as summer’s final gale,

For in your heart, you’ll always be my light.

Oh, Yongsun, love me not for fleeting things—

Not for the fame or crowds that cheer your name,

But for the way your heart forever sings,

An endless tune that time cannot reclaim.

Love me, as I love you, for who you are,

My dokkaebi, my constant, guiding star.

Sonnet 5: The Heart’s True Voice

Love me as I love you, for reasons true,

Not for the world’s perception of your grace,

But for the heart that leads you in all you do,

The warmth that time can never quite erase.

Your patience is a light that never fades,

Your laughter, soft, a comfort in the dark,

And though our lives are woven in charades,

My heart finds solace in your quiet spark.

Beauty may fade, and voices lose their tone,

But who you are remains my greatest prize;

A love that lives beyond the flesh and bone,

A truth that stays when every moment dies.

If you must love me, let it be because

I love you, Yongsun, with no need for cause.

Sonnet 6: A Love Beyond All Time

And if we’re blessed to see the seasons pass,

To watch the years unfold like petals wide,

I’ll love you still when time has turned to glass,

When all that’s left is what we hold inside.

For every day your heart remains the same,

A gentle fire that warms and lights the way,

You are my sun, my star, my endless flame,

A love that never yields to night or day.

Let not the world’s applause define our bond,

For in your kindness, I have found my peace;

I love you, not for laurels placed beyond,

But for the way your heart can never cease.

If you choose me, then choose me as you are—

My Yongsun, human and my guiding star.

Sonnet 7: Love’s Eternal Promise

Love me for myself, as I love you whole,

Not for the fleeting things that fade and fall,

But for the essence that completes my soul,

The heart that gives, and answers every call.

If you must love, then love me with the same

Pure joy I find when I behold your face,

For Yongsun, you’re much more than just a name,

More than a star that shines with fleeting grace.

Let’s be as constant as the endless sky,

Two hearts that beat as one through every storm;

Our love, a tale that time can’t nullify,

A bond that keeps us safe, secure, and warm.

So, love me not for what the world can see,

But love me, Yongsun, as you’ve set me free.
