Valentine's Day Help - Punctuation

Hello to all,

I am writing a card to my (soon to be fiance) girlfriend and I need a bit of wisdom. How should I properly write the below phrase:


As many times as the waves have touched sand; is how often I have dreamed of finding you.


Help a young romantic win the heart of his lady......

Thank you,
DJ

As many times as the waves have touched the sand have I dreamt of finding you. I know we have repeated 'have', but I'm sure she will love your message. I don't think it really needs additional punctuation, but a comma after 'sand' would do no harm.

Variants:

'As often as the waves touched the shore, I dreamt of finding you.'

'As often as the waves have touched the shore, I have dreamt of finding you.'

(Four days to go, DJ, so you should get plenty of other suggestions. I admire your forward planning...)

Cheery greetings, Mike.
