My love for you has always been alive
in highs, in lows, in deep reflections,
in celebrations and also in mournings,
it has given me strength to be, to see.
My love for you never broke my heart
just because it never stood a chance,
because it was unexpressed for long,
because it’ll be unrequited throughout.
My love for you wraps me yet frees me,
hurts me yet heals me deeply, shakes me
yet brings me to my senses, makes me
dream but helps me clearly see reality.
My love for you gratifies me to the core,
but it also surprises me like nothing else
when I witness myself cherishing you
while you cherish your life with them.
My love for you witnesses your love too
not on the same page, but in many special
chapters in this book of life: of meaning,
of companionship, of feeling, of sharing.
My love for you will remain as long as I am,
I shall declare it my reason to stay alive;
it shall be my excuse to love myself more
while I let my love for you, oh love, soar.
