The Question Poem by Avinash Nair

Should I love you for those differences
That exists between the real you
And my concept of an ideal you?
Should I love you for the reasons
Unknown to my mind but
Known to my soul, yet unfair?
Or should I love you for the wishes
That follows the silence into my life,
Tender into the roots of my heart?
Simple are you and me, but
Complex are those emotions that rise!
Come, let me love you for the unknown
For I have, in the other forms known
This thought, I have known them all.
Until I have succumbed to this very
Emotion, time and again, every single moment.
Could you please give me a reason,
Or at least save some measure
Of that long-lost love?
For I have always been dependent
On the kindness from strangers.
