UNREQUITED WORDS PRESENTS

What You Mean to Me

A few verses on expressing unrequited love

Today, when I feel your deprivation in my life, I realise what you meant to me.

I now know, What music means to a musician, What words mean to a poet, What art means to an artist,

I now know why people say, The journey is often better than the destination.

Coz I know in the end you wouldn’t accept me.

I knew I couldn’t attain you. Still, I pined for you. And it is in that pining for you that I’ve become me.

I always prefer it one-sided and unrequited.

There is a luxury in unrequited love, in knowing that they can never love you the way you love them.

It has always been about the journey. The journey with you bettered me in many ways I could not imagine, Transformed me in many ways I could not imagine.

I now know what the bittersweet quality of love feels like. I know what the poisonous nectar tastes like.

I do not regret you, I reminisce you.

I’ll never stop to miss you. I’ll never stop to love you. I’ll never stop to adore you.

Coz, Though you’ve inspired in me a thousand poems, There are million more to come.

Though you’ve caused a thousand smiles and tears in me, There are a million more to come.

I have immortal longings in me — Shakespeare, Anthony and Cleopatra

Moreover, Though it’s your love that drives me insane, It’s the only thing that keeps me sane.

Hence, the bivouac becomes the abode.

Thanks for dropping by.
