"That I Did Always Love"



I did always love you,
Will forever continue too,
Till you did not leave me,
Was unaware of how much I loved thee.


The heart full of love,
Looks for you in all niches, all alcoves,
My love ever flowing,
In anticipation of a union, still waiting.


My life goes on,
Everyday, from evening to dawn,
Even though you are gone,
Envious of my love, despairs gaze upon.


The red heart alive for you is proof enough,
Or do you need to look at more stuff,
Still have the letters from you, 
The once fresh but now dry flowers too.


Small lil trinkets in my treasury
And all colourful memories,
My life smiles,giggles and chortles
As I go ahead to make my love immortal. 


If all this does not satisfy you,
All proofs, as my love accrues 
If all this does not have any effect
On you, then you better disconnect.


I will keep counting the days and my breath,
To my love, giving full respect,
No, I am not at all upset,
Nor my love at all wrecked. 


Will keep loving you to the end,
But will not depend
On your intent,
Nor any love from you, ever expect.
