How much do I love you?

I'll tell you no lie
They affirm honesty in expressing their feelings.

How high is the sky?

How many times a day do I think of you?
The frequency of thoughts about the person they love is questioned.
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel
They ponder the distance they would cover just to be in the company of the person they love.
To be where you are?
