Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The declaration thanks another person for giving life an unexpected meaning. The speaker treats that gift as lasting, something that remains beyond anyone else’s power to remove. Love is expressed through gratitude for an experience already received, rather than a request for a future promise.
