Why do I love you so much?
Is it
because you accept me as such?
The way I
am, what I was,
Without any
condition or clause.
Remember
when I sat beside you,
Hurting you
with my toenail,
You would not give me the slightest clue,
As you
playfully covered my art with a watery veil.
You shook
me with a mighty tide,
As you
towered over me, so tall!
It never
once hurt your pride,
When
through you, I would splash and crawl.
Do you
think I love you for our similarities?
At times I
rise like a giant wave,
Do you
sense some familiarities?
As my ego ebbed
away, I fell and forgave.
Is it that
despite our fluctuant natures,
We are each
other’s, constant love.
We never
brand each other as traitors,
As fidelity
for us is so very tough.
So
sometimes I let you glimmer in the soft sun,
Caressing
somebody else’s feet.
I would
feign joy, as you had your fun,
Without you
my heart ached, I was incomplete.
I would
wait for you as long as I had to,
I would
think of you night and day,
Every shore
I would pursue,
Even if you
pushed me away.
