I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I can be before you.

Your sentence is translated from English love poems and has two sources. And the artistic conception of the two poems is completely different.

One was written by an Irish poet and called Love.

The full text is:

I love you not only for your appearance, but also for who I am when I am with you.

I love you not only because of what you have done for me, but also because, for you,

What can I do? I love you because you can show my true side.

I love you, because you walk through the wilderness of my heart as easily as sunlight penetrates the crystal, and my stupidity and weakness hardly exist in your eyes.

But the most beautiful place in my heart is illuminated by your light. No one will bother to do so much. Everyone else thinks it's too much trouble to find it, so no one finds my beauty, so no one has been here.

The original text is:

I love you,

Not only because of who you are,

But because of who I am.

When I'm with you.

I love you,

Not just for what.

Your achievements,

But for what?

You are making fun of me.

I love you

for me

You brought it out;

I love you

Because you put your hand on

Walk into my piled heart

And passing by

All stupid, fragile things

You can't help.

Vaguely see there,

And for extraction.

Walk into the light

All the beautiful things

No one has seen it.

You can find it far away.

I love you because of you.

Is helping me make

The wood in my life

Not a tavern

But a temple;

Unemployed

Every day of mine.

Not blame.

But a song.

I love you

Because you've already done it

More important than any creed

I could have done it.

Make me better.

More important than any fate.

I could have done it.

To make me happy.

You did it.

No contact,

Without saying a word,

Without warning.

You did it.

Be yourself.

Maybe that's why

Being friends means,

After all.

This sentence you said is the first sentence of this poem, just a different translation. I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

Another poet, thomas brown, also has a poem called Love.

The full text is:

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

No man is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside him knowing you can't have him.

Never frown even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

To the world, you are one person; But for someone, you are the world.

Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all their heart.

Don't worry, the best things come when you least expect them to. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one. When we finally meet the right person, we should be grateful.

Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

"Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible sun within us."

It is also the first sentence.

PS: I personally like the second song very much.
