Love, reciprocated or unreciprocated; requited or unrequited; is always an enriching experience
Your Love Makes Me Whole (Valentine Special)
When I love youI love you with all my might
Irrespective of the fact
Whether you love me or not…
Because in loving you I realise myself:
I learn to what extent my love can go;
To the depth my love can reach;
To the heights my dreams can soar;
The elation my ecstasy can attain;
The anguish my agony can feel;
The pain that I can endure;
The sacrifice that I can make;
The selflessness with which I can love;
The patience with which I can wait…
Your love gives me so much
Your love makes me whole.
And if you reciprocate my love,
My happiness knows no bounds:
The world comes alive
Everything becomes lovely and bright
Each flower smells sweet
Each star shines bright.
And if you don’t return my love,
It doesn’t matter, my love, though
My anguish knows no bounds:
The world is black as hell
The fire of suffering scorches and burns
Everything loses its lustre
The sky is dark and dun.
Either way the feelings are strong
Strongest that can be
And that makes me stronger!
Because, I believe
‘It’s better to love and lose
Then never to love at all;’
Never to be loved at all!
Even if I lose you
You will live in my memory
And never leave my side
And that will enrich me!
I am strong as a rock
Tender as a dew drop
Deep as an ocean
Light as a feather
Radiant as a star
All because of your love.
I am Me with your love!
I am alive with your love!
Your love is enriching,
Enchanting and bewitching;
Strengthening, yet tender and soft
And that makes me happy-
Immensely happy and ecstatic
Of my lot.
