I Love You Anyway Poem by Arun Maji

It's ok if you cannot love me.
But I love you.
I love you anyway.

There could be flowers in garden
You love them
But you would never be able to
Hold them to your heart.
Yet you love them.
You love them anyway.

I love you
Because I want to love you.
I love you
Because I cannot do anything else
But love you.

Why?
I don't know. I really don't know.

My love doesn't expect anything in return.
You are free. Free as bird.
You can fly in your sky
The way you want.

But I want you to be happy,
beautiful, fragrant, smiling-
For now, and forever.

It's ok if my heart aches,
Beat drops, eyes shed tears.
I would be happy to go through agony
For flower I love.
I would be happy to twist in pain
For angel I worship.

Go. Go wherever you want to go.
But if someday
You think I am worthy of your love,
Look for me.
You would find me
Awaiting you with door open.
