I Will Love You

If you don't love someone, it better to say a clear no than keeping them hanging for longer, for the longer you hang, the harder it gets to move on.

I Will Love You

 

“I will love you.”

Long gone are the nights

When I used to get this reply from you

Constant interrogation of rights

Why can’t we be together and yet true?

 

“I Will Love You”

You gave this bare reply

Is all I deserve a not-so-clear boo?

After all these nights of bitter cry

That I did for you.

 

“I Will Love You”

That other guy you date

Sorry I came between you two

He’s a drug addict, yet great!

Still I am a true lover too.

 

“I Will Love You”

I ask you, why don’t you say

A straight and clear no, please do

I want to move on and sway

But you keep me hanging with ado.

 

“I Will Love You”

Yes maybe you will

But you will have lost the boy, who grew

To love, to make your dreams fulfill

And make you life partner too!

 

Stop It!

I don’t want to hear that anymore.

I’m changing my password

Wouldn’t call you and bore

And save my two-and-a-half hours, you heard?

Thank you!

The heart and mind speaking at the same time, different languages perhaps, the heart wants to deny what the mind sees...knows. That said, this is written so amazing, i love the eloquent honesty, use of rhyme and meter...i love the fact this just goes right through your heart and grabs you, very relateable...great job!

They keep you hanging on just in case the other scenario doesn't work in their favor, so unfair. There's much injustice in love when the allure is one-sided and the other is only there to have you hang on just in case. Be smart and cut the chord while you still have your sanity. Good one.

"to have you hang on just in case."
My thoughts exactly, Frieda.
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing :-) ^_^

Who needs that right? My pleasure Shivam. :-)

[Shivam Murari]

Indeed! Hanging on only wastes our time and emotions on the wrong person. :-)

So much time can we spend asking,"Do you love me?" Many times it is the actions of another person that speaks louder then the spoken word. Good read.

Love is never fair. What we want and need had barriers to overcome. A interesting story in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
