The Answer... All I Expect Poem by Vidushi Khera

I don’t ask for too much
Just a little love would be enough
But more of what I need is to
Show you all that I feel for you
To know that it makes you happy
And makes you feel loved by me
And I’ll be content that I can love too
And my love and I do matter to you
And I need just glimpses of a world
In which, on me, simple pleasures you unfurl
Like a word or two of love or more
Straight from the heart’s innermost core
No promises of forever I need
Just an appreciation of now and here
Just need to feel that it’s something special
Something that’s never been there
And maybe just a stolen moment of unspoken feelings
When you and I are real, and no other things
Come between the closeness, that all talk of with sighs
And I dream of with hope that it’ll someday be mine
And then with no regret or demand for more
I’ll let you go where you feel the need to go
But to set you free, I first need to love you
And that’s all I expect and hope to be true.
